Hotel De Anza hauntings and downtown lore

Hotel De Anza, opened in 1931 at 233 W Santa Clara St, is a Spanish Colonial Revival hotel in downtown San Jose listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Local folklore and contemporary ghost-tour operators report stories of unexplained noises and sightings in guest rooms and public spaces that have become part of San Jose's tall-tale and haunted-hotel traditions. These accounts are part of popular lore and are not established historical fact.
