About the Company
At M Social Sunnyvale, we don’t just host guests; we curate a lifestyle at the intersection of technology and human connection. As the leading creative brand within the portfolio, M Social is designed for the "young at heart"—explorers who value authenticity, bold design, and social electricity.
Our Sunnyvale property is a landmark project: the first new-build M Social in the U.S. and the first hotel in California designed with 5G wireless technology from the ground up. Launching in late 2026, it will feature 263 rooms, a centrally located courtyard, and our signature Beast & Butterflies restaurant and social hub.
M Social is powered by Millennium Hotels & Resorts (MHR), a global hospitality leader with over 145 properties in key gateway cities like London, Paris, New York, and Singapore.
