Where to Stay When Visiting Netflix (Los Gatos)

By Rachel Julian, Editor-in-Chief · · 5 min read

Netflix's headquarters is in Los Gatos. Book near the campus — and fly the right airport. In the Bay Area, that second choice is where trips go wrong.

Direct answer: Visiting Netflix's Los Gatos HQ (100 Winchester Cir): stay in the Los Gatos area near the campus. Stay in downtown Los Gatos near Netflix — the town is small and walkable, so hotel, dinner, and a short hop to the campus all sit close together. For more inventory, Campbell and San Jose are 10–15 minutes north. San José Mineta (SJC) is the airport — about 20 minutes north. SFO is 50-plus minutes away; there's no reason to use it for a Los Gatos visit.

Netflix is a streaming-entertainment and film/TV production company, headquartered at 100 Winchester Cir, Los Gatos, CA 95032. That's Los Gatos, a walkable town at the southern edge of Silicon Valley where Netflix is headquartered — a compact downtown of boutique hotels and good restaurants, a few minutes from the campus.

Where can you take a client to dinner near Netflix?

Downtown Los Gatos is a client-dinner district in its own right — Santa Cruz Avenue is lined with restaurants, most a walk from the Toll House.

What should you check before booking?

The submarket gets you close; the room still has to protect the work. Run the pick through the Sales-Ready basics — a real work surface, a quiet room, a lobby you'd host in — using the hotel details that decide the trip and the Sales-Ready Index.

The standard

Netflix is a Bay Area HQ where two choices decide the trip: the submarket and the airport. Book near the campus in the Los Gatos area, fly SJC, and keep the Bay Area's traffic — and its wrong-airport trap — off your morning.
