Don’t expect to find Silicon Valley neatly marked out on a map. You will find the Santa Clara Valley though, which has Palo Alto at one end and San Jose at the other. And this region with its towns, shopping centres, media centres and industrial parks is what constitutes the tech mecca known as Silicon Valley. Fairly recently this flat region was farmland and plum orchards, and it still has a very affluent, suburban feel, with lovely architecture, great bars, restaurants and boutiques and a very rich cultural calendar. If you’re here to work then the best hotels in Silicon Valley are either those closest to your office, or else those affording you a beautiful view maybe in the Peninsula, South Bay and East Bay areas. If you’re visiting as a tourist then San Jose, Palo Alto and Santa Clara are where you’ll find the best hotels
