Santa Clara Marriott

The Santa Clara Marriott is one of the biggest full-service hotels in Silicon Valley, set on Mission College Boulevard north of Highway 101. Levi's Stadium, the Santa Clara Convention Center and California's Great America are all close by. Marriott describes the stadium as within walking distance. The hotel has over 58,500 square feet of meeting space, several dining outlets and a pool that Marriott bills as the largest in Silicon Valley. For Palo Alto visitors, it makes sense for a 49ers game, a concert at Levi's, a conference at the convention center or a day at Great America, followed by a trip up Highway 101 to Stanford.

This profile is based on Marriott's official page for the hotel, checked on November 3, 2026. We do not publish star ratings or reviews. Fees below are what Marriott listed that day and can change, especially on event dates. For live rates, check the Santa Clara Marriott on Booking.com or book with Marriott.

Location and distances

The address is 2700 Mission College Boulevard, Santa Clara, CA 95054. The hotel sits in north Santa Clara's office district, with Intel's headquarters and Mission College nearby. The Intel Museum at 2200 Mission College Boulevard is free and open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., a short walk or drive from the hotel. Santa Clara Square, a newer district with restaurants and shops on Augustine Drive, is about half a mile away.

Our road estimates assume Highway 101. It is one of the most congested freeways in the region on weekday mornings and evenings, so plan for 45 minutes or more at rush hour. The express lanes on 101 can help if you have FasTrak. Our traffic guide explains the peak windows.

Transit and event days

Marriott lists four transit options nearby: the Santa Clara Great America station (served by ACE and Capitol Corridor trains), the Lawrence Caltrain station, San Jose Diridon and Milpitas BART. For Palo Alto, the most useful is Caltrain from Lawrence, about 2 miles south. A short rideshare gets you there. Trains run north to Palo Alto in roughly 15 to 20 minutes. Check the fare, since Lawrence may be a different zone from Palo Alto.

VTA light rail also runs along Tasman Drive near the stadium. The Orange Line connects to Mountain View station, where you can switch to Caltrain for Palo Alto. On stadium event days the trains get crowded and roads around Tasman Drive and Great America Parkway close or slow to a crawl. Our Levi's Stadium guide covers bag rules, parking and transit. Note that the 49ers play their November 22, 2026 home game in Mexico City, not at Levi's.

Rooms

Marriott does not publish a room count on the overview page. It lists rooms and suites, with a king guest room in the gallery. It also offers M Club lounge access as a paid or elite upgrade, subject to availability. Here is what else Marriott listed:

• Check-in and checkout. 4 p.m. and 11 a.m. Both are less generous than at many hotels, so plan your arrival and departure around them.
• Wi-Fi. Free in-room internet for Bonvoy members who book direct.
• Smoking. The property is smoke-free.
• Green certification. Green Key Eco-Rating Program certified.

Pool, parking and pets

• Pool. Marriott promotes the hotel's pool as Silicon Valley's largest. The overview page does not give hours or say whether it is heated.
• Fitness. A fitness center on site.
• Parking. Self parking listed at $50 a day in November 2026, with an hourly rate too. RV parking is available if you contact hotel security before arrival.
• EV charging. None listed. Our EV charging guide lists public chargers in Palo Alto.
• Pets. Not allowed.
• Airport shuttle. None.
• Meetings. More than 58,500 square feet, including the California Ballroom.

Check the official Marriott page before you book. Parking is the fee most likely to change.

Dining on site

This is one of the few hotels in this guide where you can eat well without leaving. Marriott lists four outlets:

• Bosc + Bartlett for lunch and dinner, indoors or on the patio, plus the hotel bar.
• The Orchard for breakfast, including a buffet.
• Coffee Corner for coffee, tea and breakfast bites.
• Le Petit Chef, an immersive dinner experience with animated projections on the table. Reservations are required.

Marriott does not post hours or say whether breakfast is included. Assume it is a paid meal unless your rate says otherwise.

Food nearby

Santa Clara Square on Augustine Drive is the closest restaurant cluster, a short walk or drive from the hotel. These spots were confirmed open in our Santa Clara food guide on November 2, 2026:

• Bafang Dumpling at 2702 Augustine Drive, Suite 110, Taiwanese dumplings and beef noodle soup.
• Puesto at 2752 Augustine Drive, Mexico City style tacos and a patio.
• Jak's at 3333 Coronado Place, modern Indian plates.

For Korean barbecue, El Camino Real in west Santa Clara is about 15 minutes south. Jang Su Jang at 3561 El Camino Real is the best known. On game days, eat near the hotel and walk to the stadium rather than drive out and back.

Who the Santa Clara Marriott suits

• Fans heading to Levi's Stadium for football, concerts or other events.
• Conference attendees at the Santa Clara Convention Center or hotel ballrooms.
• Families spending a day at California's Great America, which has confirmed its 2027 season.
• Travelers who want a full-service hotel with a big pool and dinner on site.

It does not suit pet owners, EV drivers who need a charger or visitors who want to walk to Stanford or University Avenue. For a base right in Palo Alto, see our hotels near Stanford guide.

Booking tips

1. Check the event calendar first. Rates jump on Levi's Stadium event nights and during major conventions.
2. Budget for parking. At up to $50 a day as listed, parking can rival a meal. Ask whether game-day rates differ.
3. Plan for the 4 p.m. check-in. Ask the hotel to hold bags if you arrive early for a game.
4. Book Le Petit Chef early. Seats are limited and reservations are required.
5. Compare nearby hotels. You can compare Santa Clara hotels on Hotels.com for event weekends, when nearby options sell out.
