What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the Graduate Berkeley imagines what he might have done with a 144-room 1928-vintage hotel on Durant Avenue, a block off of Telegraph.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set on Durant Avenue one block from UC Berkeley, the hotel sits steps from the historic bookstores and cafes along Telegraph Avenue.
The rooms
Bedrooms feature California blue and gold motifs, vintage-patterned rugs, tailored writing desks, and subtle nods to university mascot Oski.
Dogs stay too.
Henry's Bar & Restaurant
The historic wood-paneled tavern pours California craft beers on tap and serves updated Bay Area gastropub dishes.
How it began
Opened in 1928 as the historic Hotel Durant, the Spanish Colonial Revival building was reimagined as an eccentric professor's study.
