Modern, fun, and full of personality, Moxy Oakland Uptown brings a trendy boutique hotel experience right to the heart of Oakland’s buzzing entertainment district.

Why Concert-goers love it

You can’t beat the location—less than a 10-minute walk to multiple major music venues. After a late show, you’ll appreciate the 24-hour front desk and laid-back social vibe that doesn’t quiet down too early. The hotel even has its own nightclub on site, in case you're not quite ready for the night to end. With check-out at 12:00 PM, you’ve got time to sleep in, recover, and maybe even hit brunch before heading home.
