Hayes Mansion San Jose, Curio Collection by Hilton

What Hayes Mansion San Jose, Curio Collection by Hilton does

Hayes Mansion San Jose is a historic boutique hotel built in 1903, operating under Hilton's Curio Collection brand as a franchise property on approximately 20 landscaped acres in San Jose, California. The property offers 214+ guest rooms and suites, more than 33,000 square feet of IACC-certified meeting and event space, and on-site food and beverage including the Palm & Ember restaurant and The Magic Table immersive dining experience. The asset is a member of Historic Hotels of America and has received industry recognition including the 2026 Top 25 Historic Hotels for Romantic Proposals award.

The business monetizes through several interconnected revenue streams: overnight accommodations distributed via Hilton.com, the property's direct website, and third-party channels; corporate meetings and conferences leveraging the certified meeting spaces; weddings across multiple customer segments including a specialty South Asian/Indian offering; full-property group buyouts; and curated leisure packages (e.g., themed packages tied to America's 250th anniversary and opera programming). The property runs an active sales motion across its own sales team, Hilton channels, and event platforms such as OpenTable and Eventbrite.

As a Hilton franchise, the property benefits from Hilton's global distribution, the Hilton Honors loyalty program, and brand-level revenue management infrastructure, while remaining operationally and commercially independent at the property level. The single-asset structure means there is no portfolio diversification: all revenue, cost variability, and capital investment decisions concentrate in one physical location in the South Bay.
