INFORMATION ABOUT CONCORD
Located 30 miles east of
San Francisco, Concord blends neighborhood living with a dynamic city center. Boasting
a thriving population of 100,000+,
Concord offers a stable business environment with a high quality of life
in Contra Costa County, one of the fastest growing counties in the San Francisco
Bay region. The Concord Hilton Hotel is located at the center of San
Francisco's East Bay, just 1 mile from Buchanan Airport, 30 miles from Oakland
Airport, 40 miles from San Francisco Airport.
Major highways, public transit and a local airport enable speedy travel

Sacramento via AMTRAK which is 7 miles from the Concord Hilton. Buchanan Field
Airport offers executive jet and air taxi service, but no commercial flights.
The hotel offers complimentary shuttle service within a 5 mile radius of the hotel; although AMTRAK pickup service may be arranged by special request. There is no parking fee, and motor homes may be parked at the hotel, but may not be used for sleeping purposes.
The hotel features 320 beautifully renovated guestrooms and luxurious suites. Additional hotel amenities include the Grissini Trattoria Italian Restaurant and Wine Bar, voted the "Best Italian Restaurant in the East Bay," the Plaza Court Lounge with spectacular views overlooking the Garden Courtyard.
