SAN FRANCISCO—Joie de Vivre Hospitality has announced its latest innovation in the hotel world—Domain Hotel—located in Sunnyvale, Calif. After a complete renovation, the former Radisson was re-introduced last month with a new identity fitting with its Santa Clara-meets-Sunnyvale location.
One of the few hotels going green in the south bay, the new Domain Hotel, offering 124 rooms and 12 suites on three levels, is decorated in two themes—Tranquility and Awakening—each of which are offered upon check-in, depending on the guest’s preference. If one is interested in Awakening, it’s possible to reserve one of the rooms where the outside is brought in: a bright, expressive green room with natural accents to stimulate the senses such as fresh sprigs of lemongrass. In alternating rooms, guests will find the “Tranquility” of the coast, complete with colorful and textural blue hues and a lavender bloom to calm and refresh the industrious traveling worker.
The contemporary guestrooms feature flat-panel HD televisions that double as 32-inch computer monitors, Lather bath products, sleep number beds, complimentary wired and wireless high-speed Internet access, iPod docking stations and simple, efficient workspaces. Amenities at Domain Hotel are intended to appeal to the connected traveler and include a complimentary nightly wine-down hour featuring local-vineyard California
wines, daily shuttle service to/from local corporate offices, a state-of-the-art business center, a complimentary hot breakfast and at check-in, a choice of either relaxing or energizing choice of sachet or herbally-infused cookie.
The common areas of Domain Hotel will also reflect the property’s intersection between nature and technology with a welcoming water feature, a dramatic bamboo garden and an expression of Northern California’s redwood forests. Signage about green elements will let guests know that they are supporting sustainable business practices throughout the hotel. The combined 9,000 square feet of meeting and event facilities inside the hotel will cater to the business and social needs of guests and the community, accommodating groups from 10 to 400.
Guests of Domain Hotel will enjoy the on-site full-service restaurant Bytes, featuring a menu of big drinks and small plates that incorporate seasonally available fresh produce and Northern California favorites. Bytes is partnering with several local vineyards to host poolside wine tasting and pairing events during spring, summer and fall.
