Where to Stay When Visiting Palo Alto Networks (Santa Clara)
Palo Alto Networks's headquarters is in Santa Clara. Book near the campus — and fly the right airport. In the Bay Area, that second choice is where trips go wrong.
Palo Alto Networks is a cybersecurity company, headquartered at 3000 Tannery Way, Santa Clara, CA 95054. That's the Santa Clara / North San Jose tech corridor — around the Convention Center, Levi's Stadium, and California's Great America, minutes from San José's airport and packed with business hotels.
“Palo Alto Networks is — despite the name — in Santa Clara. Book the Santa Clara cluster, fly SJC, and don't drive up to Palo Alto looking for it.”— Rachel Julian, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
Which airport — and how far?
San José Mineta International (SJC) is right here — about 10 minutes — and the correct airport for Silicon Valley. Do not reflexively book SFO: it's 35–45 minutes north and a classic way to lose an hour each way.
Where should you stay near Palo Alto Networks?
Stay in Santa Clara near the Convention Center, close to Palo Alto Networks — the hotels here sit minutes from the campus and from SJC. San Francisco is 45 minutes north and the wrong base for a Silicon Valley visit.
