Berkeley City Club

Hotel in Berkeley, CA
Hotel in Berkeley, CA In 1929, Julia Morgan designed the Berkeley Women's City Club, the collective vision of its 4000 female members: Lush gardens and courtyards provided sanctuary. A library and roaring fireplace brought great friends and conversation together. An invigorating pool enlivened spirit and body. More than a building, the Women's City Club fulfilled dreams. Today, the Berkeley City Club is a private club for both women and men, and a meeting place for Berkeley's arts and culture community.
