The Westin San Jose (formerly Hotel Sainte Claire) and ghost stories

The historic Sainte Claire Hotel, opened in 1926 and now operating as The Westin San Jose, is a downtown San Jose landmark that has been the subject of local ghost stories and paranormal interest. Guests and local storytellers have reported unexplained noises and alleged apparitions over the decades; such reports are part of the hotel's folklore and are not substantiated by scientific evidence. The building's architectural history and long-standing presence in downtown San Jose are well documented.
