Bakersfield’s best hotel, Padre Hotel, first opened its doors in 1928 and today is Bakersfield’s only 4-Diamond Hotel. After being closed for several years, the historic hotel underwent a transformation to become a sophisticated boutique hotel with restaurants, nightlife, wedding venues and conference facilities. After a long day out in the oil fields, working on the farm, or just exploring Bakersfield, come unwind in our luxurious guest rooms, host your private event, or enjoy one of Padre Hotel Bakersfield’s unique dining and bar options.

Join the Kern County Optometric Society for our first meeting of the year - an evening of professional development, networking, and continuing education at Wiki's Wine Dive & Grill. This comprehensive event combines social networking, dinner, and valuable CE credits in one engaging session.
Featured speakers Dr. Andrew Kao and Dr. Daniel Chang will present two cutting-edge topics in optometric care: • Advances in Interventional Glaucoma • The Stigmas of Astigmatism Correction
This event offers 2 hours of CE credit while providing an excellent opportunity to connect with fellow optometrists in a relaxed atmosphere. All attendees will enjoy complimentary drinks, dinner, and CE presentation materials.
