Historic 1930 hotel designed by Julia Morgan, steps from UC Berkeley
Architecture & History
The Berkeley City Club Hotel occupies a building designed by renowned female architect Julia Morgan and opened in 1930. The property preserves 1920s architectural detailing, including a Romanesque and Moorish interior with serene courtyards and a koi pond. A 75-foot indoor heated swimming pool, also designed by Morgan, offers guests a place to swim year-round.
Dining
On-site Julia's Restaurant serves farm-to-table French cuisine for lunch Thursday through Saturday and dinner Tuesday through Saturday. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered daily, featuring fresh fruit, pastries, quiche, ham, and cheese. The Morgan's bar and lounge provides a space for evening drinks, with a live pianist on Fridays.
Location
The hotel sits five minutes' walk from the University of California Berkeley campus and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA). Downtown Berkeley dining and shopping are within walking distance, and the Downtown Berkeley BART station is a short walk for easy access to San Francisco. Oakland International Airport is 30 minutes' drive away, while San Francisco International is 40 minutes away.
Recreation & Wellness
The indoor swimming pool is open year-round and features high ceilings and big windows, though it is set up for lap swimming with required reservations and swim caps during certain hours. A fitness center with wellness programs and equipment is available, along with Zumba and yoga classes. The hotel also offers a shared lounge, a garden, and outdoor furniture for relaxation.
Guest Rooms & Amenities
Select rooms and suites offer views of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, University of California Berkeley, and the Berkeley Hills.
