Winter Splendor at Cielo Rooftop: San Jose's Elevated Holiday Escape
"Cielo has always been one of my favorite secret spots to take visitors up to when visiting Santana Row. It's hidden at the very top of Hotel Valencia and overlooks Plaza de Valencia with the Santa Cruz Mountains in the background. It's often open to enjoy the view, but is underutilized as a place to grab a drink or bite for most of the year. Fortunately, that is changing with it's very first Winter activation: Cielo Rooftop's Holiday Experience."
"The experience also features an exclusive partnership with Piper-Heidsieck Champagne, highlighting bespoke cocktails, caviar pairings, and premium pours available by the glass or bottle. Menu selections include starters like butternut-coconut soup with vegetables or spicy chorizo croquettes, shared plates such as Spanish charcuterie with cheeses and cured meats, and entrees ranging from chickpea ratatouille with spinach and mozzarella to volcano lamb shank with spicy carrot puree with pickled red cabbage."
Cielo Rooftop at Hotel Valencia is reimagined as a Holiday Experience through January 10, 2026, with frosted pines, glowing fire pits, and plush faux-fur seating to create an intimate outdoor retreat. The activation runs Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m., is closed Sundays, Mondays, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day, and operates weather permitting. The experience includes an exclusive Piper-Heidsieck Champagne partnership with bespoke cocktails, caviar pairings, and premium pours. The menu features starters such as butternut-coconut soup and spicy chorizo croquettes, shared Spanish charcuterie, entrees including chickpea ratatouille and volcano lamb shank, and desserts like apple pie and chocolate fondue. Mulled wine is offered as a seasonal drink.
