Hotel at a Glance: Waterfront Hotel Oakland
Being inside the Waterfront Hotel Oakland feels deceptively like being aboard a ship at bay. From the boutique hotel’s windows and balconies, guests can peer out past railings painted bright blue. Whereas nearby San Francisco might offer views of a vast ocean fit for pondering one’s existence, the Waterfront Hotel looks out over the Oakland/Alameda estuary, presenting an infinitely cozier scene ideal for pondering which nearby adventure one will embark on next.
- Ahoy, sailor!: The hotel’s interior gives the impression of a seaside staple thanks to blue-hued décor and striped upholstery.
- Explore the East Bay: Couched in Jack London Square, the Waterfront Hotel is close to a smorgasbord of dining and entertainment in Oakland.
- A clear shot to SF: The city’s sights are just 20-minute ferry ride away or Hop on the BART (the Bay Area Rapid Transit system) to discover San Francisco’s hip dining spots and hippy corridors
- An afternoon at Alcatraz: Take a ferry from SF to visit this infamous island, historically used to house prisoners and military garrisons.
Oakland, California: Hip Coastal City Surrounded by Redwoods
Compared to other destinations in the Bay Area, Oakland is underrated and overlooked. Prices are cheaper than in neighboring San Francisco, and the dining and nightlife scenes are getting hipper all the time. There are also a number of attractions that are appealingly offbeat, from a fortune cookie factory offering tours for just $1 to a whimsical collection of storybook tableaux at the Children’s Fairyland theme park. For more traditional cultural offerings, see what’s playing at the art-deco Paramount Theatre, a National Historic Landmark that hosts movie screenings and ballet performances.
Similarly, your options for outdoor recreation run the gamut from the kooky to the conventional. Take a gondola ride on Lake Merritt, go on a quest for cool street art, or visit Jack London Square, named after the Bay Area native who wrote The Call of the Wild. Here you can go kayaking on or bicycling alongside Oakland Inner Harbor. Just west of the city, nearly 40 miles of hiking trails in Redwood Regional Park will bring you up close to trees standing up to 150 feet tall. Keep your eyes peeled for rare golden eagles, too.
