Choosing a hotel in Berkeley is a good deal easier than choosing a restaurant. We have made it even simpler by breaking Berkeley accommodations down by neighborhoods.
Telegraph Avenue and South Berkeley
Hotels near campus, the Bancroft Hotel and the Hotel Durant foremost amongst them, have been around since the 1920s or 1930s. As much to celebrate their survival as their exclusive location so near the The University of California , these hotels tend to be run with a bit of pomp and circumstance. Other campus area hotels include the smaller Beau Sky Hotel and The French Hotel. Slightly farther down Telegraph, but often serving the same clientele and in any case has many of the same attributes, is the quaint Rose Garden Inn.
Downtown Berkeley
Downtown Berkeley offers many accommodations in an incredibly central location, making access to most parts of the city easy. The Hotel Shattuck Plaza is about as central and convenient as you can get, while still preserving its Victorian charm. Slightly farther down you will find the Nash Hotel, whose close proximity to many of the great things Berkeley has to offer makes it a prime choice for those who want to be in the thick of things.
Fourth Street
The area around Fourth Street offers plenty to its visitors. In addition to its thriving shopping district, it is also home to the Berkeley Marina and several comfortable hotels. The Berkeley Marina Hotel offers spectacular views of its namesake, as well as a convenient location to both the rest of Berkeley as well as San Francisco. Also abundant in the Berkeley Marina area are big name, well trusted hotel chains such as The Radisson and DoubleTree.
The Elmwood
The Elmwood is home to what is probably Berkeley's most famous hotel,
the large and popular Claremont Resort and Spa. Just at the base of the hill, the Claremont offers countless tennis courts and pools, spa facilities and the like. It is a favorite with locals, whether for wedding receptions, business meetings or weekend getaways. The ever popular Sunday brunch is always a favorite.
Emeryville
Even more hotels have converged near the freeway on rapidly emerging Emeryville to the south: a Holiday Inn, Courtyard by Marriott, the renovated Sheraton Four Points and the towering new Woodfin. These hotels all come equipped with meeting facilities, computer hook-ups, copiers, fax service and other business necessities.
