Why We Like This Place
Because of its size, location and amenities, business travelers from all over the world know about this notable East Bay venue set in the center of Oakland's commercial and cultural heart. But brides are also discovering that the Oakland Marriott City Center is a great place for a destination wedding.This is Uptown Oakland, also known as Oakland's Arts and Entertainment District, where trendy new restaurants, businesses and residential space are investing the area with incredible vitality. The Paramount Theater, the Oakland Museum, Chinatown, Old Oakland (the city's historic neighborhood) and the Housewives Market are mere blocks away, as is Jack London Square, Oakland's colorful waterfront district, and picturesque Lake Merritt.
A property of amazing versatility, this 21-floor hotel is physically connected to the spacious Oakland Convention Center with all its assets, including a massive 546-car garage designed to accommodate the largest event.
But a lot of what's best about this party-perfect site can be found inside its walls. In addition to the 484 handsome guestrooms and beautifully appointed suites, there are two huge ballrooms, a presidential suite, a stunning 21st-floor meeting and dining room with drop dead views all around…and more.
Hold your gala in the 10,000-square-foot Emelyn K. Jewett Ballroom on the ground floor. It's adjacent to the hotel's white marble lobby, an impressive entrance for your affair, be it a romantic wedding celebration, fundraising blowout or stylish corporate gathering. This ballroom can be divided into as many as seven chambers if your requirements aren't quite as lavish, or you can book the somewhat more intimate Calvin Simmons Ballroom on the second floor, which can be partitioned into three rooms. Both ballrooms have high ceilings, mood lighting, stellar audiovisual capabilities and graceful prefunction foyers ideal for everything from registration and intermission to pre-event mixers with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres. Food is prepared by the Marriott's caring and experienced banquet staff, and whether your group is small or large they'll enjoy the same award-winning Marriott service.
On the second floor, you can add the Atrium Lounge and City Center Grill, with their dramatic Atrium views, to the list of places for your guests to linger and laugh, or you can whisk them up to AJ Toppers, the hotel's rooftop ballroom, where a spectacular bird's-eye view of the bridges, the bay and the cities that surround it will make spirits soar.
Our guess is that you and your guests will love this location. Should you decide to relax here after the big event, there are enough accommodations for your entire party. And while the property's additional amenities—fitness facilities, business center and pool, for example—might tempt you to forget about other attractions, remember that trains, planes, buses, and rental cars are handy and ready to transport you to new adventures whenever you're ready to roll.
