Northern California is the place to be — the food, weather, sites to see, should I go on?! From weekend getaways to midweek hangouts I’m sharing a weekend itinerary for you to use to have one of the best weekends in Mountain View, CA.

WHERE TO STAY

THE AMESWELL HOTEL

The brand new Ameswell Hotel, situated in the heart of Mountain View, CA, is a design-driven hotel crafted by San Francisco-based, award-winning design team BAMO to celebrate California's inspiring wilderness and Silicon Valley's legacy of innovation. Its name draws inspiration from nearby NASA Ames Research Center. This beautiful hotel now has additional weekends available for those who want to broaden their minds at the iconic nearby destinations such as Google’s headquarters! The hotel features an art gallery, a library, 6,000 square feet of meeting and event space, a destination bar and restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining as well as a fast casual café. Boasting 100% organic bath products, biodegradable food packaging, a medical-grade air filtration system and an on-site nutritionist, it’s the small details that make this new hotel a great offbeat wellness retreat.

YOUR INSTAGRAMMABLE WEEKEND TO-DOS

VISIT GOOGLE’S HEADQUARTERS

Did you know that the Google headquarters is located in Mountain View? You can even visit the campus grounds and get a taste of the company’s well known culture right in the heart of Mountain View. Self-guided tours and visitors are highly encouraged on Google’s campus. Be sure to grab some selfies in front of the Google Android Lawn Statues, giant foam statues of a cupcake, donut, honeycomb, and much more!

RELAX IN STYLE BY THE AMESWELL POOL

Make the most of Mountain View’s sunny weather at the hotel’s outdoor saltwater pool. Drink up the sunshine on a poolside chaise or a cocktail from the nearby Airstream in the privacy of one of their outdoor cabanas. Put on those trendy sunglasses and get ready to pose with a cocktail by the pool! After a dip in the pool, snuggle up by the fire pits and enjoy some cocoa or tea!☕️

SPEND THE MORNING AT THE FARMER’S MARKET

The Mountain View Farmer’s Market is an enjoyable way to spend a morning supporting local farmers, vendors, and more! This prize-winning market takes place once a week throughout the year and is the biggest in the San Francisco Bay area. Fresh produce, homemade sweets, handcrafted souvenirs, honey, and flowers are just some of the items you’ll find across more than 80 vendors. You’ll absolutely want a photo with some fresh flowers and local coffee in hand!💐 See all the details about the Mountain View Farmer’s Market here.

VISIT THE RENGSTORFF HOUSE

The Rengstorff House is an iconic house that was constructed in 1897 and is the oldest home in the city. The exterior of the property features classic Victorian architecture and beautiful lawns and gardens. The fully-restored property was once owned by a well-known businessman and is open to visitors who wish to view the Victorian-era decor. It’s the perfect place to throw on a beautiful gown and have a photoshoot at! See more details on visiting the The Rengstorff House here.
