Kissel Uptown Oakland, in the Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Oakland, California, United States · Unbound Collection · Accessible Luxury
Oakland's old Auto Row gives this seven-story Hyatt house its name and its face. BAR Architects folded a recreated 1910s Beaux-Arts façade by Frederick H. Meyer into a contemporary hotel, then raised Kelly Ording's artwork seventy feet above Broadway in printed glass fins. Kissel opened in March 2022 with 168 rooms, High 5ive on the roof, and a lobby shared with 74 residences, a deliberate piece of Uptown rather than a sealed-off visitor bubble.
