Discover Our Boutique Hotel in Oakland, CA

As the third largest city in the San Francisco Bay Area, Oakland is not a city to be overlooked. Overflowing with culture and history, this city generates an energy all it’s own. Whether you’re interested in history, sports, or the city’s unique Chinatown, there’s enough to keep you busy for a weekend, a week, or even longer.

Though occasionally overlooked in favor of its famous neighbor, Oakland actually played a large role in the building of San Francisco. Oakland’s oak and redwood timber were logged and used in the construction of SF. After the earthquake of 1906, many San Franciscans chose to relocate to Oakland permanently — helping further flesh up the budding city.
