Bancroft Hotel

Berkeley


A gorgeous 1928 arts-and-crafts building that was originally a women’s club, the Bancroft is just across the street from campus and two blocks from Telegraph Ave. It has small, simply furnished rooms (some with lovely balconies) and a spectacular bay-view rooftop, though no elevator. Limited parking.
