Directions to the Hotel

Crowne Plaza Silicon Valley
777 Bellew Dr.
Milpitas, Ca 95035

(408) 321-9500

IMPORTANT: Just because you knew how to get to this hotel last year doesn't mean the same directions apply. Road construction continues in the area.

The hotel is situated just off Hwy 237 near Hwy 880 in Milpitas. Depending on how you're getting there, the directions can be rather counterintuitive. Consider yourself warned.

By Car -- From the North

Get on southbound 880. Take the CA-237 East (Milpitas) exit. (This is counterintuitive, because the hotel is slightly to the west, away from Milpitas.) Stay in the rightmost exit lane. At the end of the exit ramp, turn right (west) towards McCarthy Blvd. (Most of the traffic will turn left instead, towards Milpitas.) Turn left at the first traffic light onto McCarthy Blvd and take it over Hwy 237. Turn left at Bellew Drive; the hotel will be on your left. (If you take this route, do not rely entirely on Mapquest or Yahoo Maps, as the maps they display do not entirely reflect reality.)

If you take the CA-237 West exit instead, you won't be able to get off 237 at McCarthy Blvd. Instead, get off at the first available exit, which is Zanker Road, staying in the left lane of that exit. Turn left onto Zanker, cross over the highway, then turn left to get back onto Hwy 237, staying in the right lane. Take the next exit (McCarthy Blvd), and turn right at the light. Turn left at Bellew Drive; the hotel will be on your left.

By Car -- From the South

Get on northbound 880. Take the Great Mall Parkway exit. Turn left onto Great Mall Parkway, crossing over the highway. On the other side of the highway, the road becomes Tasman Drive. After about a block, turn right onto Alder Drive. Alder ends one block later, at McCarthy Blvd. Turn right on McCarthy Blvd. Turn right at Bellew Drive. The hotel will be on your left.

By Car -- From the Peninsula (West)

Take Hwy 237 East to McCarthy Blvd. Turn right onto McCarthy Blvd, then turn left onto Bellew Drive. The hotel will be on your left.

If traffic is horrendous on eastbound 237 (as it often is during rush hour), you can dodge some of the traffic by taking the Zanker Road exit (one exit before McCarthy Blvd). If you take the Zanker Road exit, turn right (southbound). Turn left onto Tasman Drive. Turn left onto McCarthy Ranch Blvd. Turn right at Bellew Drive. The hotel will be on your left.

By Public Transit

The #33 Santa Clara Valley Transit bus runs past the hotel. For information on bus schedules and routes, visit http://www.vta.org.

The hotel shuttle bus will pick you up for free from the 880/Milpitas Light Rail station and from San Jose International Airport. You need to call the hotel when you get to the station or airport so they can send the shuttle.
