Hotel Durant – Berkeley is a 144-room historic hotel, just steps away from the Sather Gate at the University of California at Berkeley. UC Berkeley is one of the world’s leading educational and intellectual centers. Heralded for the distinction of its faculty and students, "Cal" Berkeley sets a climate of thought leadership that makes Berkeley a place filled with great ideas, as well as a fun college town!
The 178-acre campus, open to the public, also serves as Berkeley’s unofficial “Central Park,” with beautifully landscaped grounds, historic architecture, and tranquil, wooded walking paths that cross campus to connect Downtown Berkeley, North Shattuck/Gourmet Ghetto, and the Telegraph Avenue business districts.
Hotel Durant was built in 1928 and is named for Henry Durant, the first President of the University of California and the Mayor of Oakland. The hotel is sited in downtown Berkeley and is listed in the Berkeley Register of Historic Places.
In a playful nod to the Hotel Durant’s affiliation with the University of California, Berkeley, the hotel’s guestrooms feature dictionary-covered shower curtains and bongs repurposed as bedside lamps.
