Our Story

A landmark of grace in the heart of Silicon Valley

For over six decades, Clair Tappaan Lodge has stood as a beacon of refined hospitality on Lincoln Avenue. Named in honor of a devoted public servant, our lodge was conceived with a singular purpose: to offer travelers a sanctuary of calm, dignity, and genuine warmth.

We are not a chain. We are a place with memory — where the concierge remembers your name, where the light in the lobby feels like coming home, and where every guest is treated as though they are the only one we are expecting.

Historic architecture & mid-century charm
Personalized, attentive service
Prime downtown San Jose location
