Built in 1913, this majestic Hotel is a creative alternative to traditional hotels with its nostalgic décor and sublime settings. The Victorian architecture that adorns this boutique hotel in downtown Oakland can only be surpassed by its grand splendor inside. Tucked away in “Old Oakland” near Jack London Square, this recently renovated luxury boutique hotel exudes an aura of classy sophistication and elegant style.

The expansive lobby with its wooden arches is centered by a teak and granite bar which creates an ambience of romance and anticipation. Guests can mingle in the lounge and enjoy the artistic innovative cocktails from the bar, or relax and absorb the nostalgia of the original photographs of the Victorian Oakland that graces its walls. And the attentive and courteous staff of this boutique hotel is always there with prompt attention to make the experience a more memorable one.

Conference and Banquet facilities can accommodate up to 145 people and the rooms can be divided for a more intimate setting if desired. The Banquet Hall opens into the Twist Restaurant and on weekends the facility provides the restaurant space with its ideally set shining wooden floors for DJ music and dancing. With its splendid banquet menu to cover your dining needs, the facility now enables you to offer your guests a happy dance and music experience.

The Washington Inn Hotel provides in-house catering from their restaurant—The Twist—which features masterful interpretations of the California/Italian/International cuisine. The Twist has received high marks from the San Francisco Chronicle, as well as several other fine food and wine magazines. The catering staff is there to accommodate your every request, and the Wedding and Special Event clients have the option to customize the menu for their event—and the attentive service can only be exceeded by the competitive prices they will come up with for you!

They would love to welcome you into their world of artistry, service, elegance and grandeur. Prepare to be pampered from start to finish, enjoy the culinary experience and dance to the music of happiness and satisfaction!

The Washington Inn Hotel is conveniently located off the 880 and 580 freeways in downtown Oakland and across the bay from San Francisco.
