San Francisco is considered one of the greatest cities in the world to visit for many reasons including historical landmarks, a five star dining scene, and a happening theater district. Outside the 50 square mile city, the surrounding Bay Area has plenty more to explore. The innovative Silicon Valley, the peaceful Napa Valley and its famous wineries, the beautiful Marin Headlands, and the free spirit of Berkeley are all just short drives from the hotel in Oakland.
