Overview

Located two blocks from UC Berkeley
Small rooms
Just steps away from the University of California and the Downtown Berkeley BART transit stop, the Hotel Shattuck Plaza's location is ideal for travelers looking to pop into San Francisco or visit the University of California Berkeley campus. This hotel has been welcoming guests since the early 20th century, and many of today's visitors love the hotel's character – a recent renovation has preserved the property's historic integrity while transforming it into a trendy boutique outpost. However, there is one aspect of the Hotel Shattuck Plaza's past that guests wish had been remedied with the remodel: the guest rooms here are rather small. With that said, accommodations do come equipped with creature comforts such as flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations and complimentary internet access. The hotel also houses a fitness center and a 24-hour business center, and travelers are quick to compliment the modern American cuisine served at the in-house restaurant, FIVE.

READ MORE 

This historic boutique hotel sits amid Berkeley's downtown arts district, just steps from the U.C. campus and a short walk from the Gourmet Ghetto. The elegant property emphasizes its turn-of-the-20th-century glamour (the Shattuck was built in 1910), but from HDTVs in every room to eco-conscious business practices, the hotel is completely upgraded and modernized.

Peace is quite posh following a $15-million renovation and greening of this 100-year-old downtown jewel. A foyer of red Italian glass lighting, flocked Victorian-style wallpaper — and yes, a peace sign tiled into the floor — leads to comfortable rooms with down comforters, and an airy, columned restaurant serving all meals. Accommodations off Shattuck are quietest; cityscape rooms boast bay views.
