Business Travel Has Evolved: Welcome to Bleisure
Business travel has evolved. The days of flying in, attending a meeting, and staring at a generic hotel room ceiling are over. Welcome to the era of "bleisure", the art of blending business trips with leisure time.
There is no better place to master this art than Mountain View, California.
Known globally as the headquarters of tech giants like Google and Intuit, Mountain View is also a vibrant cultural hub teeming with diverse dining, scenic outdoor trails, and hidden local gems. If you are visiting for a conference or client meetings, don't let your laptop be your only view.
Here is your definitive guide to maximizing productivity and downtime, directly from your home base at Hotel Strata.
Why Mountain View is the Ultimate Bleisure Destination
Silicon Valley isn't just office parks. It is where innovation meets California's outdoor lifestyle. You are minutes from the Santa Cruz Mountains, the San Francisco Bay, and a downtown area (Castro Street) that rivals any culinary scene in the state.
At Hotel Strata, we specialize in hosting the modern professional. We know you need high-speed fiber internet and a strong Nespresso shot at 6:00 AM, but we also know you need a glass of wine by a fire pit at 6:00 PM.
Here is how to spend a perfect 48 hours with us.
