The
Embassy Suites in Walnut Creek, California is the setting for our upcoming
Leadership Institute Program and Retreat. Conveniently located across
the street from the Pleasant Hill BART Station makes access from Oakland
International Airport easy and inexpensive. The hotel is just off the
680 freeway and within two miles of charming downtown Walnut Creek, nine
miles from the Concord Pavilion, 30 miles from Napa-Sonoma Wine Country,
28 miles from Oakland International Airport and 38 miles from San Francisco
International Airport.
The focal point of the hotel's striking contemporary design is an eight-story
tropical atrium incorporating wall-to-wall skylights. Bathed in natural
light, the first floor courtyard is a magnificent oasis of ponds, trees
and tropical plants. 
A beautiful indoor pool and hot tub and a well-equipped workout room are available for use by our retreat participants.
Each
spacious two room suite consists of a bedroom with one king size or two
double beds and a living room with sofabed, well-lit dining/work table,
wet bar, refrigerator, microwave and coffeemaker. There are two dual-line
telephones with voice mail and modem hookups, high speed Internet access
and two 25-inch remote control TVs. All suites open onto the central atrium
and 90% are non-smoking.
Breakfast made to order is served every morning in the beautiful indoor atrium area.
The
Embassy Suites has offered a great price to our retreat participants.
Each suite is only $109 per night and can be shared by up to 4 people
(making the cost less than $27/night). To make your reservations and receive
