Berkeley City Club

The Berkeley City Club is a historic hotel, event space, fine dining restaurant, and private social club. Opened in 1930 to honor the need for a women’s activity center, The Club, also known as the “Little Castle,” was designed by famed California architect Julia Morgan. As a center for social, cultural, recreational, and family activities in the East Bay, the Berkeley Women’s City Club gained over 4,000 female members. In 1963 the Club opened to all genders and in 1975 was designated as a city landmark. Two years later, the Berkeley City Club was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
