Cheers to two Santa Clara institutions. 🥂

50 years of memories, all starting in 1976. 🎊

When California’s Great America opened, Santa Clara Marriott opened right beside it, marking the start of something bigger for Santa Clara. 🏨🎢

Days at the park, nights at the Marriott. Roller coasters, concerts, pool days, late check-ins after long days, and mornings that do it all again. For generations, the two have gone hand in hand. 🤝

They’re not just places, they’re part of growing up here, visiting here, and coming back year after year. 🙌

From commemorative plates to awards and brochures, these pieces offer a glimpse into where it all started.
50 years later, both still stand as pillars of Santa Clara, and the memories keep going. ✨

This past weekend, "Celebrate Santa Clara", hosted by @santaclaracity , was an amazing event that brought our community onto one of the biggest stages in sports, @levisstadium.

Families filled the stands. Kids ran the field. Residents enjoyed local soccer matches, interactive field games, and activities that created shared moments and reminded us what this year is really about.

As Santa Clara prepares to host major global sporting events this summer, it was meaningful to see the community at the center of it all. Big moments matter. So do the people who call this city home.

That’s a wrap on the Big Game in Santa Clara. Still taking it all in.

It was an unforgettable matchup between two incredible teams, capped off by an electric performance from Bad Bunny. Congrats to the Seattle Seahawks on the win.

Thank you to everyone who traveled, stayed, and celebrated with us. Santa Clara and the greater Bay Area welcomed the world with open arms, showing what makes this destination special on a global stage. This weekend was about more than football. It was about people, community, and connection.

And always remember, the only thing more powerful than hate is love. ❤️

@badbunnypr’s Santa Clara Hotel Adventure: Part 3🐰💼

Benito continues his Santa Clara hotel tour with a few final stops. At @deltasantaclara, he checks in, fuels up with a coffee from the in-house café, grabs a few snacks from the pantry, and sips on a handcrafted drink at the Lucas Lounge. ☕️🍸

Then he heads to @hyattregencysantaclara for a vocal warmup in the karaoke lounge, rewards himself with fresh sushi from the on-site sushi restaurant, and enjoys some downtime in his room with a view of Levi’s® Stadium as he reflects on the big show ahead. 🍣🏟️

A stay in Santa Clara is about more than just where you sleep. During big weekends like the Super Bowl, our hotels help shape the overall experience by giving visitors a home base to relax, reset, and enjoy everything the city has to offer. 🛌

We can’t wait for Benito’s halftime performance and hope he had a fun time touring Santa Clara hotels! 😉
