Is this you? ›A complete business-travel guide to Databricks’s the Bay Area headquarters — where to stay, how to get there, and how to make the meeting count.
Everything a business traveler needs for a trip to Databricks’s the Bay Area headquarters — the hotel, the airport, and the ground game — in one place, drawn from our verified where-to-stay and getting-there work.
Where to stay near Databricks
The go-to pick is Hotel Griffon — A boutique hotel on Steuart Street right on the Embarcadero waterfront, the closest walk to 160 Spear — bay views and a quiet, professional feel.. The office sits in Embarcadero / SoMa waterfront (downtown), so book to that submarket rather than defaulting to “downtown.” See the full verified shortlist for Databricks →
Getting there
SFO ~20 min · BART: yes · OAK ~30 min. On the ground it is a rental — silicon valley’s campuses are spread out and mostly off the rail (caltrain only near stations). The full airport-to-office guide for Databricks →
