Our block of discounted-rate hotel rooms at the Sainte Claire Hotel has expired, so our advance-reservation room rate is no longer available. As of November 20, you can still book a room at the Sainte Claire; however, regular room rates (starting at around $144; discounted rates available for AAA and other groups) apply.

There are several other hotel choices very close to the Sainte Claire, including as close as across the street. They include:

• Marriott: 301 South Market St. (SW corner of South Market St. and East San Carlos St.)
• Fairmont: 170 South Market St.
• Hilton: 300 South Almaden Blvd. (SE corner of South Almaden Blvd. and East San Carlos St.)
• Crowne Plaza: 282 South Almaden Blvd. (NE corner of South Almaden Blvd. and East San Carlos St.)

We’ve plotted these hotels and the Sainte Claire (302 South Market St. on the SE corner of South Market St. and East San Carlos St.) on the map below.

Incidentally, since this is SMOFCon and therefore presumably many of you care about this sort of thing: we did make our room block and then our expanded room block. Thanks to all of you who booked rooms with our hotel!
