Santana Row — aka Silicon Valley’s premier destination for shopping, dining and nightlife — is finally going iPhone. The “finally” part is added because we’re talking about a Silicon Valley company, which when you think about it, should’ve had its own iPhone app at least 6 months ago.
Anyway, now it’s here and it’s a good thing for Silicon Valley people who actually need on-the-go access to Santana Row news, information and incentives.
From the press release:
The Santana Row iPhone app combines basic store directory information such as hours and descriptions with interactive functionality. Users can browse shops alphabetically or by category, review cuisines and sample price points for each restaurant, and connect with one-touch dialing. First time visitors can pull up a map with a marker showing exactly where the business is located in the neighborhood.
Those looking for something to do can view a schedule of movies and showtimes at CineArts @ Santana Row and a calendar of Santana Row events that lists everything from jazz concerts and cooking demonstrations to store sales and promotions. The app also links to information on Hotel Valencia and residential offerings, and connects directly to the Santana Row Concierge Center with one touch. Santana Row fans will also enjoy the Rewards section, a fun, interactive game that allows users to download discounts and other incentives from retailers and restaurants.
That’s about all we got at this stage, plus the information that they’re working to add more features such as gift card sales, real-time parking information and restaurant reservations. AppStore link is here.
