Located in Downtown Berkeley, this historic landmark hotel combines Gothic and Moorish architecture across its 38 guest rooms. The Berkeley City Club features Julia's Restaurant, serving French farm-to-table cuisine Tuesday through Saturday for lunch and dinner. A Julia Morgan-designed indoor heated pool sits beneath original 1920s vaulted ceilings with period tilework. Guest rooms span 209 to 504 square feet, offering plush beds, historic details, and views of either the Berkeley Hills or San Francisco Bay. A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 7:00 AM to 9:30 AM, featuring fresh fruit, pastries, tea, and coffee. The Berkeley hotel provides modern amenities including complimentary Wi-Fi, a fitness room, and self-service laundry. Situated merely 1968.5 ft from Downtown Berkeley, the property stands 0.5 miles from The Campanile and 0.5 miles from the Habitot Children's Museum.

Pros

Original 1920s architectural features including gothic iron-paned windows and oversized fireplaces

Indoor heated pool designed by renowned architect Julia Morgan

Private courtyards and bocce court for guest recreation

Reciprocal privileges at partner clubs throughout the United States

Cons

No on-site parking available

Limited dining hours with restaurant closed Sundays and Mondays

“The architectural uniqueness of this landmark building, designed by Julia Morgan, establishes it as a cultural destination near UC Berkeley. Its vintage elegance is thoughtfully preserved, while the serene courtyards with a koi pond provide a relaxing counterpoint to the urban setting. The indoor pool is a must-see, a reminder of the hotel's commitment to both historic preservation and guest well-being.”
