Hotel Shattuck Plaza

Berkeley


This 100-year-old downtown jewel features a foyer of red Italian glass lighting, flocked Victorian-style wallpaper – and yes, a peace sign tiled into the floor. Colorful, vintage-chic hallways lead guests to fairly plain if comfortable rooms with down comforters.

Accommodations off Shattuck Ave are quietest, while cityscape rooms boast bay views.
