Welcome to Oakland

Oakland celebrates its diverse community, artistic vibe, beautiful scenery, locally owned shops, civic pride, and award winning multi-cultural cuisine. In fact, Oakland was voted #1 Best Food City in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler readers. Situated on the east side of the Northern California Bay Area, Oakland is bordered by 19 miles of coastline to the west and rolling hills to the east.

Conveniently located near three major airports, Oakland can be easily accessed via railway, bus, or ferry. The Town is home to numerous parks, the Oakland Zoo, Lake Merritt, the Oakland Museum of California, live music venues, Children’s Fairyland, theaters, the Chabot Space & Science Center, and so much more! 

With so much to see and do in Oakland, planning to stay a few day is ideal. With first-class hotels to boutique properties, family-friendly options and the top names in lodging – there is something for everyone in Oakland.
