Stay in this State Historic Landmark building built in 1927 and designed by Julia Morgan, who also designed Hearst Castle. You will be taken by its elegance and beauty, its flowering courtyard, vaulted ceilings, large halls, tiled floors, huge indoor pool, rooftop restaurant and overall California style. The rooms are all comfortable and nicely appointed, and many have sweeping views of the Bay and San Francisco (no televisions - the view is your TV). Coupled with the exquisite service, you could spend days here without stepping foot outside. Massage therapists, lecture series, conveniently close to the University, restaurants and shopping. Discounts for longer stays from a week on, as well as monthly rates and seasonal rates.
You can't be more central in Berkeley than when you are while staying at this updated boutique hotel. Established in 1910, the hotel has nicely added contemporary amenities and comfort while maintaining it's high-end style. The lobby is open, airy, and glamorous. There is even, appropriately, a marble peace sign embedded into the entry way floor. The rooms feature similarly bold designs, with modern and comfortable chairs and beds, and bright windows. The staff is particularly attentive, and will go out of its way to satisfy your needs.
