The Signia by Hilton San Jose is an 805-room high-rise hotel at 170 South Market Street in San Jose, California, located on the Plaza de César Chávez in Downtown San Jose.[5] The hotel opened on April 7, 2022.[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 sought a new management partner and extended the existing mortgage debt. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, occupancy had been less than 7%, and the hotel lost at least $18 million in 2020 and was projected to lose at least another $20 million in 2021, according to the hotel owner.[8][9] It reopened as a Hilton property[10] on April 7, 2022.[11]
