If you have been driving down Great America Parkway recently, there is a good chance you’ve seen a bold and colorful mural that stands out amidst the office buildings in the surrounding area. Perhaps you've found yourself wondering about the building behind this eye-catching display. Well, wonder no more – it's the newly developed Avatar Hotel Santa Clara, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, and more importantly, it is now open for business.

As soon as you walk through the doors of the Avatar Hotel, you are greeted by a carefully designed interior with a Palm Springs-inspired mid-century vibe.

The hotel bursts with color and playfully enchants. Art abounds at Avatar, with multiple original works bringing life to each space. The exterior of the hotel boasts a breathtaking four-story mural by Bay Area artist Benjamin Henderson. The lobby features a large-scale collage by Bay Area artist Erin Wheeler. Prints of the collage have been recreated for each guest room. Guests sitting on the onsite Starbucks’ patio can enjoy an original mural by Palm Springs artist Angie Chua.

Whether you’re a hotel guest or a local resident of Santa Clara, the customer experience is carefully thought out and perfectly executed. The intersection of the bar and front desk beckons guests to relax and savor a welcoming drink upon their arrival. The spotlight is on exceptional food & beverage choices, outstanding service, and a hospitable atmosphere where the rich tapestry of the past and present blends seamlessly in a kaleidoscope of vivid colors.

Parkstone Wood Kitchen + Taps stands as Avatar Hotel's all-encompassing restaurant and bar. Prioritizing fresh and diverse options, guests can indulge in a variety of salads and delectable wood-grilled specialties. A conveniently located Starbucks on-site ensures a streamlined customer experience. Featuring mobile ordering, distinct entry and exit doors, and hassle-free parking, this Starbucks provides a unique and convenient experience distinct from other nearby locations.

Convenience is the name of the game at Avatar, and conveniently located in the middle of the property is a stunning outdoor pool, which truly is the centerpiece of this paradise. With over 300 days of sunshine in Santa Clara, it’s almost mandatory that guests take a dip in the pool. This pool is surrounded by a plethora of outside seating and colorful cabanas, perfect for an afternoon pool day.

"We are excited to open the Avatar Hotel Santa Clara by Hilton in the heart of Silicon Valley,” said Allan Gantes, chief executive officer, Bluestone Hospitality Group. "The hotel sets itself apart from other hotels in the area by offering an imaginative atmosphere with warm hospitality for leisure and business travelers alike, while also being within walking distance of Levi’s Stadium and California’s Great America.”
