Shashi Hotel Mountain View

The Shashi Hotel bills itself as an urban resort. For the business district north of Highway 101 in Mountain View, that is a fair description. It has 200 rooms, a heated outdoor pool with a jacuzzi, a sauna and steam room, a restaurant, a cocktail bar and a coffee bar, all on North Shoreline Boulevard. Google's main campus and the Computer History Museum are within walking distance. Shoreline Amphitheatre is under a mile away. For visitors whose business is in Mountain View's tech corridor, it is one of the most complete hotels in the area.

This profile is based on the hotel's official website, checked November 1, 2026. We do not publish prices, star ratings or reviews. The hotel's site quotes guest reviews, which we do not repeat. For live rates, check the Shashi Hotel on Booking.com or book direct, where the hotel's Shashi Cash program pays cash back on room nights.

Location

The address is 1625 N. Shoreline Blvd., Mountain View, CA 94043. That puts the hotel in the North Bayshore area, the flat stretch between Highway 101 and the bay where Google and other tech companies have their campuses. The hotel says Google, Intuit and Microsoft offices are within walking distance.

Distances, measured in a straight line:

• Computer History Museum: a short walk south on Shoreline Boulevard. Our museum guide covers hours and exhibits.
• Shoreline Amphitheatre: about 0.7 mile north. See our Shoreline Amphitheatre guide for show-night tips.
• Mountain View Caltrain station: about 1.5 miles south.
• Downtown Palo Alto: about 5 miles northwest.
• Stanford Main Quad: about 5 miles west.

The Google Visitor Experience at Gradient Canopy, with its cafe and store, is a short drive or bike ride away. Our Google Visitor Experience page explains what you can and cannot see. Shoreline Park, with its lake, trails and bay views, is just north of the amphitheatre.

Getting there

The hotel is not near a train platform. From Mountain View station, which serves Caltrain and VTA light rail, it is a 1.5 mile trip by rideshare, bus or bike. From Palo Alto, driving takes about 15 minutes outside rush hour via Highway 101 or Middlefield Road and Shoreline Boulevard.

• From SJC: San Jose's airport is the closer one, roughly 20 minutes by car. Our SJC guide covers the options.
• From SFO: about 30 to 40 minutes by car down Highway 101 without traffic. Our SFO guide has transit options.

The hotel's site does not mention an airport shuttle.

Rooms

The hotel lists 200 rooms. The main room types shown on its site are:

Rooms list a 65-inch 4K TV with Apple TV and Chromecast, a wireless charging station, a safe and free Wi-Fi. The Two Kings room is the obvious pick for families or colleagues sharing. The accessibility notice says the hotel has ADA rooms with accessible tubs and roll-in showers. It also says 14 rooms have hearing assistance features. Children 17 and under stay free with an adult.

Pool, fitness and work

The hotel's hours page lists these:

• Heated outdoor pool and jacuzzi: daily, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Sauna and steam room: daily, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Fitness center: 24 hours.
• Loaner bicycles: daily, 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.
• Meeting pods and conference rooms: daily, 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
• Complimentary coffee: daily, 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m.

For meetings, the Napa and Sonoma rooms are 750 square feet each and combine into a 1,600 square foot space. Small meeting pods of 105 square feet have 64-inch screens. The hotel also runs an activity calendar that has listed morning yoga on the pool deck, live music in the lobby lounge and a wine and cheese hour. Check the calendar for your dates rather than counting on any one event.

The hotel says it is LEED Gold certified, generates about a quarter of its power on site and has EV chargers. Ask at the desk about charger access and any fee.

Dining

• Broma: the restaurant, open daily 5 to 9 p.m. The hotel names John Cao, formerly chef de cuisine at Rosewood Sand Hill, as executive chef. Different pages describe the menu as modern California and as Spanish, so check the current menu on the restaurant's own site.
• The Emerald Hour: the cocktail bar, open daily 3 to 10 p.m., with live music in the early evening.
• Carte Blanche: a coffee bar, open 6 to 10 a.m. on weekdays and 7 to 11 a.m. on weekends, with online ordering.
• Breakfast: served daily from 6 to 10 a.m. The site does not say it is included in the rate.
• The Marketplace: a 24-hour shop for drinks, snacks and essentials.

The site also still promotes a French restaurant called Belle Terre as "coming in 2024." Treat that listing as out of date unless the hotel confirms it is open. For more choice, our guide to where to eat near Shoreline Amphitheatre covers the area.

Parking, pets and policies

• Parking: self-parking is $20 overnight, per the hotel's policy page. Prices can change on special event days.
• Pets: up to two dogs per room, each 50 pounds or under, with a $125 nonrefundable fee per pet. Cats and other species are not allowed. Housekeeping will not enter a room with a pet unless the owner is present.
• Check-in and checkout: 3 p.m. and 11 a.m. Mobile check-in and a digital key are available through the Shashi app with photo ID and the booking card.

Dog owners should read our pet-friendly hotels guide for other options nearby.

Who the Shashi Hotel suits

• Visitors to Google and the other North Bayshore campuses who want to walk to meetings.
• Concertgoers who would rather walk back from Shoreline Amphitheatre than sit in the parking lot.
• Travelers who want resort extras such as a pool, sauna and bar without driving to Sand Hill Road.
• Dog owners with one or two dogs up to 50 pounds.

It suits Stanford visitors less well. Campus is a 15 to 20 minute drive and the hotel is far from Caltrain. Our guide to staying in Menlo Park or Mountain View compares this side of the city line with Palo Alto.

Booking tips

1. Check the concert calendar. Shoreline Amphitheatre shows fill nearby hotels and can change the parking price.
2. Book direct for cash back. Shashi Cash pays 5% back on rooms, rising to 10% after 10 qualified nights, per the hotel.
3. Ask about breakfast. The site lists hours but not whether a rate includes it.
4. Compare before you commit. Compare Mountain View hotels on Expedia to see rates across the area for your dates.
