Step back in time to the 1920s. Beautiful Gothic and Moorish architecture, indoor pool, small but beautiful rooms without TVs or refrigerators and that's ok! It was quiet, comfortable and within walking distance to the Greek Theater where we saw a concert. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. We will definitely stay again.

I really wanted to visit this hotel when I first discovered it and it did not disappoint! It was so cool to stay in a historical landmark. Learning more about Julia Morgan was so fascinating. She lived a fascinating life. She was one of the first woman to be a licensed architect in California and design 700 buildings including homes! The main attraction for me was the pool. When I heard she had designed Hearst Castle I knew that I just had to swim in Berkeley City Clubs pool! I had such an enjoyable time during my visit!

A very charming stay overall. Our room, being right next to the elevator, could get noisy at times, but the convenience of the location and the property’s character more than made up for it.

Berkeley City Club is an historic hotel and that means you have to be willing to accept some limitations of an older building, especially as compared to newer hotels. So - smaller rooms, smaller bathrooms, no in-room TV, no air conditioning. If you're ok with that, the Berkeley City Club is otherwise charming, with friendly staff, beautiful architecture and complimentary breakfast - a lot to like!
