Here’s something I did not get a sense of when I initially toured Chase Center. The bunker suites aren’t just hidden away rooms; they’re in a network of hallways and connected to one another like a capacious cave. Yes, you are at a remove from the public, but you are also in a broader bubble than just the people in your specific suite. There are 32 bunker suites in total, divided into two different areas, or “lounges,” on each side of the court. One side houses the Google Cloud lounges and the other The Accenture lounges. Our kind and competent butler informed me that the lounge cultures are different. “Google is more chill, more relaxed,” she said. Accenture tends to feature an older clientele. Google has younger types who like to party a bit. My suite on the Google side was populated by millennial-aged tech types, for example. How does this division between lounges happen? Well, likely because these suites were purchased with some social planning in mind.
