The Signia by Hilton San Jose may be sold, raising concerns about its impact on downtown's economic recovery.
The Sonesta ES Suites hotel in north San Jose has been bought for $16 million by an affiliate headed up by San Diego-based Kalthia Group Hotels, according to documents filed on Dec. 17 with the Santa Clara County Recorder's Office. Earlier this year, Kalthia Group Hotels executives floated a preliminary proposal to convert the 114-room suites hotel into residences. This makes sense as a housing conversion, said Alan Reay, president of Atlas Hospitality Group, which tracks the California lodging market. Suites already have kitchens, so that makes a conversion easier.
