Alibaba Corporate Rate at Holiday Inn Express San Francisco-Airport South by IHG (2.9 mi from 400 S El Camino Real)

Holiday Inn Express San Francisco-Airport South by IHG sits at 1250 Old Bayshore Hwy in Burlingame, just 2.9 miles from the Alibaba office at 400 S El Camino Real. The hotel carries a solid 4 out of 5 rating, which for an airport-adjacent property in this price tier is genuinely impressive. A rideshare from the hotel to your office runs about 8 to 12 minutes depending on morning traffic on US-101, and Uber or Lyft estimates typically land between $10 and $16 for that 2.9-mile stretch. There is no dedicated walking route that makes practical sense given the highway proximity, so rideshare or a rental car is your cleanest commute option from 1250 Old Bayshore Hwy. For corporate rates, Holiday Inn Express falls under the IHG umbrella, so book directly through IHG.com using the Siemens corporate code SIE, which functions as a reliable universal fallback and rarely triggers an ID verification at check-in. That code historically unlocks a 10 to 22 percent discount off the best available rate, which on a $180 to $220 nightly rate in Burlingame translates to real savings across a multi-night stay. Every night at this IHG property counts toward IHG One Rewards points and elite status qualification, so frequent Alibaba road warriors should absolutely keep their IHG number on file. The hotel is rated 4 out of 5 and offers complimentary breakfast, which shaves another $15 to $20 off your daily expenses. Pro tip: Grab your morning coffee at Peet's Coffee on Burlingame Avenue, a quick 5-minute drive from the hotel.
