The Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown or Hotel Montgomery [2] is a boutique hotel in downtown San José, California.

In an effort to preserve the hotel, and to accommodate the 13-story, 264 room expansion of the Fairmont San Jose Hotel, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency had the Montgomery moved 57 m (187 ft) south of its original location at First Street and Paseo de San Antonio at a cost of $8.6 million. The total cost of the renovation, including the move, was $25.5 million. [3][4]

The move is considered to be the 4th heaviest building ever moved.[5] The hotel was reopened in 2004 as the Hotel Montgomery, and run by Joie de Vivre Hospitality.

The building is listed on the California Register of Historical Places.[6]
