Classic Elegance in the Bay

A Historic site is always accompanied by the most fabulous architecture, and the Berkeley City Club is no exception. A lush outdoor courtyard is flanked by stone sculpted walls and windows, rich wood paneling and classic furnishings fill the Member’s Lounge, and the Ballroom’s impressive size and parquet floors are perfect for dancing the night away.

If you’ve ever visited the infamous Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California, you might have heard of it’s architect, Julia Morgan. The Berkeley Club, originally designed as a women’s club in the 1920s, was also conjured out of the head of Ms. Morgan, and you will recognize the luxurious, sweeping interior details common to her aesthetic.
