Dog-loving residents of Oakland have it all: tons of bars and restaurants with dog-friendly outdoor seating; an overall welcoming attitude toward canines; fenced and unfenced off-leash play areas; and a wealth of open-space trails, many of which don’t require leashes away from developed areas.

Opening soon is the AC Hotel Oakland Downtown, meanwhile, you can also enjoy the historic charm of the Claremont Club & Spa by Fairmont, situated on 22 acres with breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay.
