A good shitter where I can go hide out
Plenty of smaller conference rooms you can duck into and shut the door if you need some space.
Golden Tee machine.
For those of us not in NYC/London, visting concierge car detailing/gas-up/oil change service (does dry cleaning pick-ups too).
Visting masseuse for quarter close/reporting season.
Visting sommelier / bartender to serve drinks for Friday happy hour (keep the above mentioned beer fridge too of course. We're civilized damnit.)
If the building has a gym (what doesn't these days?), once or twice a week on-site group trainer / yoga instructor.
You have #1 in HP Redwood City. Was there visiting a friend. While we was working I was playing Dota 2 in a small conference room.
Shall I say it was a good game.

Learn moreI've had all of the above along with everything Isiaah mentioned in the OP (ok, the shower was the building's gym shower, but I'll still count it) in a single office before. So Isiaah's baller ass offices do exist (unlike meaningful SEC regulations. Hey-oohhhh!)
When's the patch coming, Valve?
Two words. Clive Christian.
Standing desks are an essential, with treadmill desks being the next level up.
SB'ed for no HR
+1 for the sweets and the Seniors
Nothing more funny than a partner ranting to you how insane the client´s head office is, while the deal is collapsing around you
The best offices always have a friendly homeless guy outside the lobby who everyone says hi to when they walk in
In my office: enough space to have a separate seating arrangement away from my desk
Across the whole office: old boys club
Generous parking garage , Tasteful art pieces, rooftop terrace for cocktails and BBQs including a whirlpool, tons of windows (better if only glass), offices large enough to have a proper round table for meetings and a blackboard, first class coffee machine (talking La Címbali upwards) and best air conditioning and ventilation system for quality air.
are you describing an office or a whole apartment

Super nice offices are like a nice apartment.
I once had a meeting with the #2 guy at IBM at the CHQ in Armonk, NY and his office had his own personal conference room. He entered the room from his other personal office we didn't get to see. Pretty baller.
I became close friends with his executive assistant after that meeting. She is a rising star at the company.
