CASE STUDY
a short walk from Levi’ s Stadium and California’ s Great America, and approximately five miles from San Jose Mineta International Airport, Hilton Santa Clara offers convenient access to the region’ s major business, sports, and entertainment destinations.
New Spaces Designed to Connect Among the most notable additions are several spaces that expand the hotel’ s possibilities beyond traditional meeting rooms.
The 737-square-foot Skybox, located on the eighth floor, offers views of Levi’ s Stadium and California’ s Great America and can accommodate up to 35 guests. The flexible space offers an elevated, comfortable setting for executive meetings, small receptions, VIP gatherings, and intimate events.
The 1,512-square-foot Game Room offers a fun and interactive space for groups, with a pool table, foosball, ping pong, darts, and multiple televisions. With capacity for up to 75 guests, it can be used for team building, networking, receptions, and postmeeting gatherings.
The transformed End Zone, formerly TAILG8, provides a year-round outdoor gathering space adjacent to Levi’ s Stadium. The 7,500-square-foot open-air venue features permanent turf and the new End Zone Kitchen food trailer. It can accommodate up to 450 guests for corporate receptions, team outings, networking events, branded activations, and pre- and post-game entertaining.
Flexible Meetings in the Heart of Silicon Valley With 16,800 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, Hilton Santa Clara offers versatile settings for meetings, celebrations, and corporate gatherings of all sizes. The 2,835-square-foot Sierra Ballroom accommodates up to 300 guests for receptions, while the hotel’ s additional meeting venues provide a range of options for executive meetings, presentations, breakout sessions, networking events, and more intimate gatherings.
The renovation introduces 98-inch presentation screens, Logitech Video Conferencing, electronic signage, and interactive whiteboards throughout the meeting spaces, while a large lobby display gives groups another way to welcome attendees and share event information.
New Dining and Event Experiences The renovation also introduces Circuit Restaurant & Patio, the hotel’ s new restaurant serving California Mediterranean cuisine. Breakfast features familiar favorites such as eggs benedict, avocado toast, and classic French toast, while the dinner menu offers a selection of appetizers, salads, and entrées designed for both individual dining and sharing. Current highlights include chimichurri steak bites, panroasted salmon, steak frites, and the Hilton Signature Burger, followed by indulgent desserts such as chocolate lava cake. A selection of specialty cocktails, wine, and beer complements the menu. Guests can choose the atmosphere that best suits the occasion, from the restaurant’ s full-service setting to the more relaxed adjoining bar and lounge, both offering the same menu and beverage selections.
Circuit Restaurant & Patio includes two brand new private dining rooms, Link and Connection, providing dedicated settings for executive dinners, client meals, celebrations, and smaller group gatherings. An updated banquet menu also offers flexible options for meals and events. Connection boasts an expansive 1,600-squarefoot patio ideal for outdoor dining and events.
The new dining experiences give guests and groups more reasons to stay, gather and connect, with options ranging from casual meals to private dining and group events.
