The Fairmont San Jose is an AAA Four-Diamond 805-room high-rise luxury hotel at 170 South Market Street in San Jose, California, located on the Plaza de César Chávez in Downtown San Jose.[5] On March 5, 2021, the hotel ceased operations and filed for a Chapter 11 reorganization.[6]

Description[]

Main entrance on the Plaza de César Chávez.

There is a swimming pool and associated deck on rooftop, with a specially designed windscreen to create a microclimate designed to be acceptable for sunbathing and swimming. The analysis of this rooftop environment was carried out in the early planning stages using a computer simulation of air flow in the presence of the then existing and proposed Fairmont structures.[citation needed] There is also an indoor cabana/bar on the rooftop.

The 13-story, 264 room annex was constructed on the site of the historic Hotel Montgomery, that was moved 57 m (187 ft) to the south and restored to what is now the Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown hotel at a cost of US$8.5 million.[7]

On March 5, 2021, FMT SJ LLC (the hotel owners) filed for Chapter 11 reorganization, temporarily closing the hotel while it finds a management partner and extends the existing mortgage debt. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, occupancy has been less than 7%, and the hotel lost at least $18 million in 2020 and is projected to lose at least another $20 million in 2021, according to the hotel owner. When the hotel reopens, it is expected to have a new manager and brand.[8][9]
