With Super Bowl LX set to bring the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, the Bay Area is gearing up for one of its biggest weekends of the year. For travelers heading west to catch the game—or simply to soak up the electric atmosphere that surrounds it—where you stay can shape the entire experience.
From sleek Silicon Valley hideaways to wine country retreats and storied Bay Area landmarks, these standout properties offer a range of settings, whether the goal is to remain close to the action or escape it entirely once the final whistle blows.
Nobu Hotel Palo Alto | Palo Alto, California
In the heart of Silicon Valley, Nobu Hotel Palo Alto delivers a refined blend of Japanese minimalism and West Coast polish. The boutique property is anchored by the acclaimed Nobu Restaurant, making it an especially appealing option for travelers who prioritize dining as much as design.
Guest rooms and suites draw inspiration from traditional Japanese ryokans, with clean lines, warm wood tones, and a calming aesthetic that feels intentionally removed from the surrounding tech-driven energy. Many rooms enjoy open views toward the Santa Cruz Mountains, reinforcing the hotel’s sense of quiet sophistication.
Recently, the hotel expanded its culinary footprint with a new Japanese-inspired outdoor garden adjacent to the restaurant. Designed with natural stone, water features, and meticulously maintained greenery, the space extends the Nobu dining experience outdoors and provides a serene setting for group dinners or private events during a high-energy Super Bowl weekend.
Cavallo Point | Sausalito, California
For football fans who want to experience the Bay Area well beyond the stadium, Cavallo Point offers one of the region’s most distinctive luxury stays. Located in Sausalito within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, the LEED Gold–certified lodge feels worlds away from the crowds—yet remains remarkably close to San Francisco.
The property’s 142 accommodations are split between sensitively restored historic buildings and contemporary lodgings, many with sweeping views of the Golden Gate Bridge or San Francisco Bay. Onsite dining at Sula and Farley highlights Northern California ingredients, while the Healing Arts Center & Spa provides a restorative counterpoint to game-day excitement.
With an onsite cooking school and easy access to Marin County trails, city attractions, and Napa and Sonoma wine regions, Cavallo Point works equally well as a short Super Bowl stay or the anchor for a longer Bay Area itinerary.
Claremont Resort & Club | Berkeley, California
A Bay Area landmark since 1915, the Claremont Resort & Club stands above Berkeley as one of Northern California’s most storied properties. Known locally as the “White Castle in the Hills,” the resort will celebrate its 110th anniversary in 2026—adding historical significance to its already impressive setting.
Perched at the base of Claremont Canyon, the resort overlooks the San Francisco Bay and features beautifully restored guest rooms and suites that honor its architectural legacy while delivering modern comfort. Guests have access to a full-service spa, tennis and pickleball courts, and Limewood, the resort’s signature restaurant known for its ingredient-driven California cuisine.
Beyond the amenities, the Claremont’s long-standing private Club has helped foster a deep sense of community, reinforcing its role as both a luxury resort and a social cornerstone. For Super Bowl travelers, it offers an elegant post-game retreat with a distinctly East Bay perspective.
Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco | San Francisco, California
For those eager to lean fully into the Super Bowl energy, Four Seasons Hotel San Francisco places guests in the center of the city’s cultural and culinary action. Located just over an hour from Levi’s Stadium, the hotel serves as an ideal post-game base as San Francisco comes alive with celebrations and events.
Recently renovated guest rooms take cues from the city’s natural surroundings, with design elements inspired by coastal fog, forest textures, and muted earth tones. Guests can recharge at The Spa at Equinox or take advantage of the adjacent Equinox Sports Club before heading downstairs to MKT Restaurant & Bar.
The restaurant’s menu emphasizes seasonal dishes, local seafood, and expertly crafted cocktails—an easy setting for toasting a championship win or dissecting every play long after the game ends.
Whether you’re chasing stadium adrenaline, planning a celebratory wine country detour, or extending your trip into a full Bay Area escape, Super Bowl LX offers the perfect excuse to experience Northern California at its most dynamic—and these properties deliver compelling reasons to stay well beyond game day.
