After 56 years Oakland Airport the Hilton closes due to rampant criminal activity in area

The Hilton Hotel will close its Oakland airport location in August after 56 years in business, Port of Oakland officials said Monday morning.

“We understand that the hospitality sector continues to be negatively impacted by larger economic trends post-pandemic,” port representatives said in a statement, adding that they will evaluate “the best use for this property moving forward.”

Hilton has leased land from the port at One Hegenberger Road since 1968. Park Hotels & Resorts, operator of the Hilton, notified port officials that the airport hotel will shut its doors on Aug. 28.
