The Ameswell Hotel

Mountain View may be most famous right now as the location for Google’s headquarters, and in fact the Ameswell Hotel is part of a mixed-use development that contains one of Google’s newest offices. And with access to neighbors Apple, Facebook, and the NASA Ames Research Center, the Ameswell caters to an audience with a taste for novelty and innovation. This means boutique-hotel good looks, classic luxury-hotel comforts, and an array of meetings and events space that’s suited for everything from a tech conference to a spectacular outdoor wedding.

Rooms feature plentiful sunlight, luxe Sealy mattresses dressed in Rivolta linens, and subtle high-tech infrastructure including ultra-fast wi-fi and medical-grade air filtration. Meanwhile the common spaces are made to be just as comfortable, from the hotel’s library to its pool, its state-of-the-art spa and fitness center, and its lawn, which opens onto the Stevens Creek Trail, a favorite for bikers and hikers. Roger, the flagship indoor/outdoor bar and restaurant, serves seasonal Californian cuisine, while the Flyby Café keeps guests optimally caffeinated, and the Airstream Bar serves drinks and light fare within sight of the pool, the lawn, and the firepits.
