Stylish Oakland Stay Steps from the Stage

Modern, art-inspired, and centrally located, Kissel Uptown Oakland in the Unbound Collection by Hyatt brings boutique luxury to the heart of Oakland’s lively Uptown district.

Why Concert-goers love it

With both Paramount and Fox Theaters less than a 15-minute walk away, you’ll never need to worry about catching a ride post-show.

Food and Drink Options

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re within walking distance of some of Oakland’s best nightspots, from buzzy bars to laid-back lounges. For something more low-key, the hotel bar offers a refined space to enjoy a craft cocktail or local wine before heading out – or winding down.
