The house
ShashiTech-corridor courtyard hotel
The hotel introduces an urban resort rhythm to the tech corridor, opening its spaces toward a sunny central courtyard.
What it’s good at
Listed
Gensler designed the LEED Gold glass-and-steel building around a central courtyard pool.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Googleplex sits right next door, while Shoreline Lake and its waterside trails are a short bike ride away.
The rooms
Crisp, modern rooms keep the focus on quiet rest, leaving the social energy for the courtyard downstairs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated swimming pool and bubbling hot tub sit in the central courtyard, flanked by daybeds and vertical gardens.
Sauna and gym
Himalayan salt bricks line the timber sauna, and the 3,000-square-foot gym includes Peloton bikes and free weights.
At the table
Carte Blanche Café pours morning espresso, and Broma serves Iberian-influenced dinner around the courtyard's rectangular fire pit.
How it began
Brothers and former tech executives Dipesh and Manish Gupta developed the hotel, naming their hospitality group after their mother.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
