The highlight of the full service, 324 room Crowne Plaza Concord is a large atrium lobby that contains ponds, a waterfall, trees & tropical plants, and which provides the setting for the hotel's Atrium Court restaurant, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The nearby Hangar Lounge serves drinks and snacks until 11 pm; other facilities are a fitness center, indoor pool, gift shop, business center and 14 meeting rooms. The hotel overlooks Concord's Buchanan Field Airport and is within a mile of the main commercial area in town - Sunvalley Mall and Willows Shopping Center.
