Hotel Montgomery

The Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown or Hotel Montgomery is a historic hotel in Downtown San Jose, California.

History

In an effort to preserve the hotel, and to accommodate the 13-story, 264 room expansion of the Fairmont San Jose Hotel, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency had the Montgomery moved 57 m (187 ft) south of its original location at First Street and Paseo de San Antonio at a cost of $8.6 million. The total cost of the renovation, including the move, was $25.5 million.

The move is considered to be the 4th heaviest building ever moved. The hotel was reopened in 2004 as the Hotel Montgomery, but later rebranded to Four Points by Sheraton, now doing business as Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown. The hotel is owned and operated by Khanna Enterprises, III, LLC, of Santa Ana, California.

The building is listed on the California Register of Historical Places.

In 2016, the hotel announced plans to expand by means of construction of a 24-story addition, directly north of the original building. This was later cancelled.
