Opened in 2021, Shashi Hotel Mountain View is a premier urban resort in the heart of Silicon Valley in Mountain View, California. In its ongoing pursuit of creating exceptional customer experiences, the 200-room Shashi Hotel pushes the boundaries of hospitality by offering guests a highly personalized customer experience through tech-savvy guestrooms; an unbeatable loyalty program; purposeful design; and elevated amenities, including refined culinary and cocktail options.

Shashi Hotel’s app offers easy access to booking information and property amenities, including keyless room entry, in-room dining and the Shashi Cash loyalty program. Guests can earn 5 percent cash back on room reservations when booked directly on the Shashi Hotel website or mobile app. For ultimate convenience, guests can transfer Shashi Cash to their bank account, PayPal or Venmo accounts with just a few clicks of the app.

Shashi Hotel Mountain View is home to the Spanish- and Portuguese-inspired restaurant Broma, led by Michelin-starred chef Jarad Gallagher. All dishes are inspired by Chef Gallagher and Executive Chef Aubree Arndt’s travels through the Iberian Peninsula, such as chorizo octopus sausage and Cinco Jotas Iberico Del Bellota. The menu frequently changes due to seasonality and the chefs’ creative will on any particular evening, encouraging guests to enjoy something new upon each return. The Broma Experience, a three-course chef’s tasting menu inspired by the seasons, is available, as well.

For light bites from Broma and invigorating craft cocktails, guests can visit The Emerald Hour, located in the lobby and outdoor courtyard. All cocktails are carefully curated to provide guests with a beverage experience that heightens their senses. Driven by high-end clear spirits and fresh, locally sourced ingredients, its beverage program aims to create flavors that speak for themselves. The Emerald Hour’s connection to local purveyors allows them to use only the best California has to offer.

Expected to open September 2023, Carte Blanche Coffee offers guests artisan coffee aimed to spark insight and ignite new ideas in a smart, clean space.

In addition to exceptional dining, Shashi Hotel offers flexible meeting rooms and seamlessly integrated indoor/outdoor spaces to connect and collaborate in both social and private settings. The hotel also boasts various guest amenities including a fitness center, steam room and sauna, pool and Jacuzzi, poolside cabanas, complimentary bikes, daily turndown service, twice weekly live music, and an organic farm stand with locally grown produce. Shashi Hotel’s prime location, minutes away from Google, Meta, Microsoft, Apple and LinkedIn, is ideal for the corporate traveler, while nearby Shoreline Park, Golf Links and Amphitheater allows business and leisure travelers to be active and explore the surrounding area.
