AC Hotel Breakfast Experience:
CROISSANTS: Fresh dough, layered with butter, rolled and folded several times by hand, resulting in a layered, flaky texture - croissants have long been a staple of bakeries abroad. Imported directly from France to our AC Kitchen, we’re delighted to share these with you. For those of you with a sweet tooth, try topping off your buttery croissant with our Michigan Red Tart Cherry Preserve
INSPIRED COFFEE: In the AC Kitchen, even the coffee we serve has a story. Torrefazione Coffee founder Umberto Bizzari grew up in Perugia, Italy and learned the fine art of blending and roasting coffee from his father. With our drip brewed coffee, we honor the quality of the Torrefazione beans by returning to the classic brewing method. Water seeps through the ground coffee, absorbing its oils and essences, solely under gravity. We offer Torrefazione Coffee hot or cold brewed. Stylish carafes of plain or flavored iced coffee are readily available, and Nespresso drinks arrive tableside, delivering our guests with an unexpected coffeehouse experience that they don’t have to leave the hotel to enjoy
ARTISANAL AIR-CURED HAM: Hand sliced cured jamon or prosciutto is the staple of Spanish tapas and anchors our charcuterie. A hand turned artisan slicer is used to prepare the meat in small thoughtful batches, reinforcing our mission of quality, crafted food.
Located just five miles from San Jose International Airport and minutes from some of the most innovative companies in Silicon Valley, AC Hotel San Jose Santa Clara offers a refreshingly elegant and thoughtful experience for the modern business traveler. Blending Spanish roots and a European soul with the authentic local vibe of the rich Santa Clara Valley, the property is a sophisticated oasis away from the hustle and bustle of life.
