This exquisite, ornately-decorated “little castle” is the renowned creation of Hearst Castle designer Julia Morgan, whose passion for Mediterranean architecture is evident in the timeless beauty and elegance of Berkeley City Club. Seamlessly weaving Romanesque and Moorish styles of architecture, the Berkeley City Club boasts six floors of meticulous design and lavishly-furnished guest rooms. Enjoy breathtaking views from your room as the morning fog rolls over the sparkling bay—featuring Julia Morgan-inspired decor, queen-sized beds in one and two room accommodations, and classic furnishings.

Berkeley City Club is the collective vision of over four-thousand members, representing the dynamic and expanding roles of Bay Area women in the 1920s. The community marveled at this comforting haven in 1962 when the social club extended its arms to men, eventually renovating the premises to include a club, hotel, dining room, and conference center.

Surrounded by lush gardens and carefully maintained courtyards, Berkeley City Club continues its rich history of fulfilling dreams with personalized service and amenities that satisfy royalty. From the magnificent Roman-influenced indoor swimming pool and leaded glass windows to the distinctive fireplaces and quintessential decor, Berkeley City Club delivers first-class service while enlivening the body and spirit.
