OT: Visiting Team Hotel

[Joseph]

I'll be going to the Sharks-Habs game this weekend and I wanted to know if you guys know what hotel the Habs stay at? We're looking to book a hotel and it would be neat to have a chance to meet them.

It's usually one of the half dozen 5-star hotels either in Downtown SJ or out near Santana Row.

San Jose Hilton is a popular one for visiting teams and new Sharks who don't have local housing yet.

I've bumped into teams at the Fairmont and have heard of them staying at the De Anza - both due to their proximity to the tank. Although, I think you can spot the Canucks standing outside their hotel on Santana Row on Google Streetview if you look close enough.

Man, I almost feel like a local giving this kind of info out.

 

[Leidi J]

Hotel de Anza would be my best guess.

The Valencia in Santana row is where I have seen many player from other teams . The team bus usually leaves for the tank between 4-5 if your out front you will see them

Sharks sponsor which is why their players are there.

Fairmont, De Anza and St Claire IMHO are more likely downtown hotels used.

Definitely try the Fairmont.

No worries, eh. This local would not be able to spot a Canuck hanging outside of a hotel until he spoke.

As a business traveler who has stayed at a hotel that caught fire in the wee hours of the morning, I sure hope no NHL team stays at Santana Row. Too much wood construction for me to feel at ease sleeping there. Besides, I remember the fire and being pelted with falling embers on my hog commuting home on 280 nearby.

I've seen Wild and Predators board the bus in front of Hotel Valencia at Santana Row. Some sign autographs. I guess its a popular spot due the variety of dining choices an NHLer can eat at without being bothered. I swear most of the public there don't even have a clue.

Most will either be at the Valencia in Santana Row or the Fairmont in downtown SJ.

The Canucks were at the Fairmont last year during the playoffs - one of the Sedins was in the line for the front counter behind me. After they lost that night, the coaches were hanging out in the bar area behind me.

I'm staying at the fairmont this weekend myself for the same game. My once a year box-seats deal, yay!

Pittsburgh are staying at the Fairmont downtown. I ran into Malkin in the lobby earlier tonight.

What time is a good time to catch the penguins tomorrow?

What time is a good time to catch the penguins tomorrow?

Morning skate is circa 11:30am. They leave for the game circa 5pm.

Waste of time trying to meet ppl at the fairmont
