Four Seasons Silicon Valley's Holiday Chalets Come With a Separate Charge

Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto set out its festive-season programme on October 26, bringing afternoon tea, family activities and holiday dining together with the returning Après Village. For guests planning a chalet evening, the detail to budget is the separate USD 150 rental fee alongside the per-person dining price.

When can you book an alpine evening?

Après Village runs from November 21, 2026, through January 4, 2027, on the outdoor terrace at Quattro and an expanded village area. Its separate October 19 announcement lists daily hours of 4:30pm to 9:30pm. Private wooden chalets, fire pits and a glass dome give the hotel a seasonal gathering space without a trip to the mountains.

The published menu is USD 95 per person, or USD 45 for children under 12. It includes soup, four shared savoury dishes per table, an individual dessert and access to the hot-chocolate experience. Standard chalet or dome reservations accommodate up to six guests, with themed chalets taking eight.

A family or group should request a complete quote showing the rental, food, drinks and any other applicable charges. The rental figure is not a substitute for the dining cost. Confirm which space you are booking and its weather arrangements, especially if the private setting is the reason for choosing the evening.

What else is on the holiday calendar?

The broader festive announcement lists Thanksgiving brunch on November 26 at USD 220 per adult and USD 85 per child. December afternoon tea at the lobby lounge is USD 90 per person, with service from 1pm to 5pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Christmas Eve's multi-course dinner is advertised at USD 140 per person.

These are separate reservations, so choose the occasion before organising the room stay around it. Afternoon tea fits a different kind of visit from a late outdoor dinner. Guests bringing children should ask which activities suit their ages and whether a preferred dining time allows enough time for the rest of the day's plans.

Can this work as an overnight break?

The hotel is also encouraging local guests to stay overnight and highlights its renovated one-bedroom suites. That makes the programme relevant to a short Four Seasons break as well as a restaurant visit. Reserve the specific festive experience alongside the accommodation: the announcements describe bookable events, not a promise that every room reservation includes admission.
