The "Love Suites" package includes a stay in one of the six luxuriously appointed one-bedroom suites and special treats to inspire nibbling (either off a plate or on earlobes). Now that it has become more common for couples to "get out of the house" and have a romantic getaway in their hometowns, the "Love Suites" Package will give curious South Bay residents the opportunity to experience the elegance of the massively renovated Hotel Montgomery firsthand. The historic building dates back to 1911 and the hotel reopening is July 6, 2004.
The "Love Suites" package includes:
The "Love Suites" package is $259 and will run from July 6th - September 30th, 2004. The "Love Suites" package can only be booked through Hotel Montgomery Central Reservations: 866.823.0530. This special must be mentioned at time of making a reservation. This special cannot be booked online; is not applicable to groups; and is not combinable with other offers.

The guestroom experience is a luxuriously authentic one, with leather-like wall coverings, Egyptian-cotton bed linens, Burberry plaid-covered lounge chairs and original artwork by artist Rex Ray in each room, with original decorative pieces by San Francisco-based Ken Wingard.
The Paragon Restaurant & Bar features American Brasserie cuisine by Executive Chef Thomas Connolly, a large selection of hand-shaken cocktails, outdoor patio seating and live jazz four nights a week. The Hotel Montgomery is also in close proximity to the San Jose Tech Museum of Innovation, the San Jose Museum of Art and the Opera San Jose.
