We highly recommend flying into Oakland Airport (OAK) if you can because it's a slightly smaller airport and closer to our venue. If not, San Francisco Airport (SFO) is great too. We wouldn't recommend San Jose Airport (SJC) because it's much further away. Our venue is in the hills of Berkeley, so we recommend staying in the East Bay in either Berkeley or Emeryville.
These hotels are near a couple of shopping centers with stores and restaurants. Before you book here, you should know that the Amtrak and other trains go right by these hotels and sometimes sound their horns! Though it cannot be guaranteed, you could ask the hotel for a room that does not face the train tracks.
Stay in the heart of Berkeley, just a block from the Cal campus and near Downtown Berkeley's shopping and restaurants.
Looking for a luxe experience? The historic Claremont Hotel is charming, sophisticated, and elegant. It offers incredible views of the SF Bay and the city skyline.
