Destination

San Francisco may get most of the attention, but Oakland has just as much to offer -- and without all the crowds. Jack London Square alone can keep you occupied for days with its fine dining, cinema complex, nightlife and boutique shops. You can even rent a kayak or charter a boat to see the Bay Area from a different perspective. On the weekends, you can amble through the outdoor artisan marketplace and farmer’s market.

Beyond the square, there are museums and kid-friendly activities galore, including the Oakland Zoo and Fairyland. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore miles of trails in our extensive park system.

• Twenty-minute ferry ride to San Francisco from our back door
• Ten blocks from the Oakland Convention Center
• Three-minute ride to downtown Oakland (including BART) with our complimentary shuttle service
