The Bakersfield center point is around the area of Downtown Bakersfield and the area of Rabobank Arena, Theater & Convention Center.

Bakersfield California history is marked by metamorphosis. In its first life, it was a Native American hunting ground next to the Kern River. The gold rush brought fortune-seekers and a host of gunslingers, prospectors, and frontiersmen to the region. To this day, the area hosts a fusion of many cultures, from Native American influences to Basque flavors, and each contributes unique elements that you will find only in Bakersfield. The area has always been a crossroads in many ways, where the desert meets the fringes of the majestic sequoia forests, with a river flowing through it all. Nowadays, Bakersfield has grown into a hub of commerce, manufacturing, and agriculture. More from this guide...

When to Visit Bakersfield, California

Bakersfield is technically a Southern Californian town, as it lies halfway between Los Angeles and Fresno. However, residents of Bakersfield affiliate more with the slower pace of central Californian life. The city's ideal location lies only a day's drive from the lights of Hollywood, a day at the beach, or an afternoon in Sequoia National Park. This southern Californian spot gets some of the best weather in the United States due to its desert climate. Clear skies, little rainfall, and a whole lot of sunshine make Bakersfield a great place to be, any time of the year.

There are a few seasonal events to keep in mind when booking your Bakersfield hotel room. Though it is a booming town, the city's population is only about 350,000, so hotel options are more limited than in larger cities. You'll want to book well in advance to make sure you have your pick of accommodations during the Scottish Rites Festival in April, as well as during the Basque Festival in May. The California Hot Rod Reunion also draws a crowd in October, so travel during other times – that is, unless you want to join in the retro fun and take in some live drag racing!

Best Bakersfield, California Hotel Discounts

While many Bakersfield, California hotels don't advertise special discounts for AARP, AAA, or military members, you'll definitely find great internet-only discounts or off-season rates in the area. Bakersfield hotels are often even more affordable during the hot summer months, so if you need to travel to the area, you'll find that rates are more affordable during the months of May – August.

As an industrial and business hub, Bakersfield hotels are equipped to handle a variety of meetings and conferences. You'll find some great discounts for business and personal group bookings, averaging between 10-25% off for your stay if the block of rooms is secured well in advance.

Best Value Options in Bakersfield, California

Beyond its stylish good looks, the Padre's comfy beds will give you a great night's sleep. Be sure to avail yourself of the concierge's expertise to plan your stay in Bakersfield. Or, make an evening of it at the Padre, starting with a game of billiards and a cocktail from the bar, and cap off the evening with delicious fare served in your room from the Padre's in-room dining menu. There is a Jacuzzi as well, making the Padre a great choice for a romantic weekend getaway. The Padre offers all the best in style and comfort for a great value.

Great Adventures in Bakersfield, California

The desert climate of Bakersfield is anything but unwelcoming. The spirit of the Wild West carries on today in Bakersfield through the area's thrill-seeking entertainments and motorsports. Today, Bakersfield is home to a large and growing group of off-road vehicle enthusiasts. The arid landscapes and trails around the outskirts of the city, such as Rancheria Road, make for ideal roving grounds and have hosted many adventurous and memorable off-road outings in recent years. You can also spend a day or evening at the races with a visit to the Kern County Raceway Park. Surrounded by the roar of the engines, it's an exhilarating experience for the whole family. If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can try signing up for a racecar driving class at the facility, taught by experienced racecar drivers.

If you come in search of the great outdoors, Bakersfield is the perfect base camp at the foothills of the Greenhorn Mountain Range. The fine weather encourages many people to take to the hiking and biking trails, including the Kern River Parkway Trail. This fifteen-mile trail follows the Kern River bed and makes a lovely day trip for the family, offering views of local flora and fauna along the way. For a slightly tamer outing that is still quite memorable, head to Hart Park to check out the live peacocks who roam the grounds. It's a fun experience that also happens to be free of charge. Just be sure to pack plenty of extra water for the journey during the sometimes intense heat of the summer months.

'I love California. It has such a strong contribution to the history of culture, and popular culture. For better and worse, of course. Even the worst can be interesting to some degree sometimes for somebody creative. These words were said by the young French photographer and fashion designer Hedi Slimane.
