Oakland Downtown
Edgy urban social hub. Art-forward, youth-oriented, LGBTQ+ welcoming. Think hostel energy with private bathrooms and a proper bar.
The complimentary cocktail is only one drink on arrival — don't expect an open bar all night
Why It Matters
First new hotel development in downtown Oakland in nearly 20 years. Also the first modularly constructed Moxy in the U.S. — built using factory-built wood-frame rooms that reduced construction time by 25% and are LEED certified. The building's community ties are real: artwork comes from Creative Growth (a nonprofit for artists with disabilities), and room poetry is commissioned from Chapter 510, an Oakland youth writing workshop.
Oakland's most personality-forward hotel opened in March 2021 on Telegraph Avenue, right at the gateway to the Uptown Arts and Entertainment District. The pink neon sign and a six-story aluminum art installation called 'Shapeshift Oakland' by local artist Thom Faulders mark the building from a block away. Check-in happens at the bar — cocktail in hand — and the lobby doubles as co-working space, performance stage, and rotating art gallery. Rooms are compact and deliberately so, but smartly designed with peg-wall storage, walk-in showers, and 42-inch TVs with quality sound systems.
Where You'll Stay
7 room types available
Corner Bunk Guestroom
Moxy's signature bunk room format — corner placement, built-in bunk beds, and a proper work area. Fun for groups or solo travelers who want the hostel-adjacent social energy but with a private room and bathroom.
Bunk Beds
Corner Queen Guest Room
Corner placement gives this room the most breathing room in the standard lineup at 250 sqft — a meaningful upgrade over the 184 sqft kings. Corner windows bring in more natural light.
1 Queen · 23.2 sqmCozy King Guest Room
The standard offering. Small but efficiently designed with motion-activated LED guide lights, a walk-in shower, mini fridge, and peg-wall hanging storage instead of a closet. No armchair or lounge seat — this room is designed for people who plan to be out, not stuck in.
1 King · 17.1 sqmHospitality Suite
The largest room in the hotel, located on the second floor with direct access to the rooftop outdoor terrace. Has a kitchenette. Can be connected with adjacent rooms, making it the go-to for small group travel, bachelorette weekends, or anyone who wants a home base for a social gathering.
KingKing Guest Room – Partial Bay View
Same compact footprint as the standard king but oriented for a partial view of the Bay. Same smart design features throughout — peg walls, walk-in shower, 42-inch TV.
1 King · 17.1 sqmKing Room – Accessible (Roll-in Shower)
ADA-accessible version of the standard king. Roll-in shower, grab rails, lowered outlets and fixtures throughout. Same smart-room design features as the standard rooms.
1 King · 17 sqmTwin/Twin Trundle Room
Features a trundle bed setup, making it the best option for small friend groups or families with kids. Opens onto a patio area. Good for anyone who needs more sleeping capacity without a full suite.
