Make the Most of Your Oakland Stay

A creative hub with substance

Oakland has evolved into one of the Bay Area's most compelling destinations, where authentic culture and culinary innovation thrive without pretense. The city's architectural landscape tells its story through Victorian homes, Art Deco landmarks like the Paramount Theatre, and the striking Cathedral of Christ the Light. Lake Merritt, America's oldest designated wildlife refuge, anchors the urban core with 3 miles of parkland, while neighborhoods from Uptown's galleries to Rockridge's European-style corridor offer distinct experiences.

Dining and business infrastructure

The culinary scene has earned serious recognition, led by Commis, Oakland's only two-Michelin-starred restaurant, alongside chef-driven establishments reflecting the city's multicultural character. Business travelers benefit from Oakland International Airport's proximity and efficient BART and San Francisco Bay Ferry connections—a scenic 20-minute commute with Wi-Fi and work tables. Jack London Square's waterfront hotels and downtown's Old Oakland position you near corporate centers and entertainment.

Beyond the city

Oakland's central location makes it ideal for exploring Northern California. Napa Valley lies an hour north, while Muir Woods' redwoods and Sausalito offer quick escapes. The city rewards exploration through monthly First Fridays in Uptown and diverse dining in Temescal, where global cuisines reflect Oakland's independent spirit.
