| Description: | In October 1987, The Fairmont Hotel in San Jose opened its doors as the first luxury hotel in the Silicon Valley. Thirteen years later, The Fairmont Hotel remains the centrepiece of San Jose's redevelopment and the jewel of the city's thriving downtown. Over the past decade, San Jose -- the "capital" of the Silicon Valley -- has exploded onto the world's economic stage as the third largest city in California. The city is also home to the brightest minds in the computer, semiconductor, and biotechnology industries. The Fairmont San Jose plays an integral role in the community, hosting presidents, dignitaries, celebrities, CEOs, and noted scholars. In addition, The Fairmont San Jose has partnered with San Jose's finest charitable and social organizations to host such events as the Santa Clara Golden Circle, the Junior League gala, as well as fund-raisers for organizations such as The Tech Museum of Innovation and Bellarmine Preparatory Academy.More than 30 wineries in the valley attest t |
