Originally planned to be called “The San Jose Hotel”, the hotel’s name was changed to be named after explorer Juan Bautista de Anza.

With its downtown location near the SAP Center, commitment to excellence and storied history, American icons have continued to stay at the luxury boutique hotel over the years. The De Anza is a favorite of pop stars and politicians.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Throughout the 1940s, Hotel De Anza remained a popular destination for not only the rich and famous, but for couples who wanted to waltz and jitterbug to a live orchestra. It was no surprise when the top floor of the hotel became home to one of San Jose’s most popular radio stations. United Broadcasting’s KEEN Radio made its inaugural broadcast from the Hotel De Anza on June 21, 1947.</p><p><div id="attachment_5123" style="width: 310px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5123" class="size-medium wp-image-5123" src="https://visitsiliconvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/150625390-300x225.jpg" alt="Eddie Murphy" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://visitsiliconvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/150625390-300x225.jpg 300w, https://visitsiliconvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/150625390-440x330.jpg 440w, https://visitsiliconvalley.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/150625390.jpg 720w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><p id="caption-attachment-5123" class="wp-caption-text">Actor and comedian Eddie Murphy</p></div></p><p> </p><p>The first broadcast featured comedian Red Skelton.
