Fodor's Expert Review Park James Hotel

There’s an exciting energy in the courtyard of this charming boutique hotel. That courtyard would fit right in with the low-key alfresco party atmosphere found in cities like Austin, Texas but is rarely seen in the Bay Area. Nature and technology are the recurring theme throughout the hotel, with the former seen in the oak tree–inspired decor and farm-to-table restaurant on-site. For tech industry travelers looking for something small and hip, this is a good choice.
