Berkeley Hotel Near The University Old World Style in a Berkeley Hotel

We know a thing or two about the past:
Our Mission-style home was built over 100 years ago. However, that doesn’t stop us from looking forward. With newly-renovated rooms, a Mediterranean-inspired dining menu, and environmentally mindful features throughout, we invite you to reinvent the Mission on your terms.

  • Charming hotel and thoughtful staff

    ""Hotel Shattuck is a historic site and honors its long history by maintaining its architecture. The interior is elegant and inviting. The 310 thread count sheets and a firm bed made for a comfortable sleep! Staff was always present at the entry. All my interactions with them were friendly and pleasant. There are good eats nearby and the Bart is a block away. We walked a few blocks to UC Berkeley to explore the campus. I wish I could have enjoyed the ZINO restaurant, which will open soon as I love Mediterranean food. Very clean and modern rooms.""

  • History and excellence

    ""The history behind this building is amazing. The staff and the cleanliness of this property takes the experience to a new level. If you want a regular boring hotel. This is not it. During your stay you will learn of the history behind this landmark. Staff is friendly and helpful. The place might be 110 years old but it does not look old. The place is clean and top of the line wifi.""

  • Cool hotel in the heart of Berkeley

    ""We loved our stay here. The room was clean and bed was super comfy. And the staff was just great. Everyone we met was very helpful. Right in the center of the city and next to the Bart. Stay here if you can!""

  • Historic Hotel With Legendary Service

    ""When I checked in, the front desk clerk was very friendly and helpful. He went out of his way to make me feel welcome. The staff was awesome throughout my stay. The hotel is a historic hotel with a modern contemporary overlay that doesn’t distract from the original character of the building. Housekeeping and maintenance do well at cleaning and maintaining the property. The rooms are very comfortable. Building security is also something to which they pay attention. I’ve worked in the hotel industry from housekeeping to management. I heartily recommend the Hotel Shattuck Plaza.""

  • Great Experience

    ""We had to travel during an epidemic but we felt this hotel went above the standard of cleanliness and safety measures. The gentleman at the front desk put on fresh gloves, all staff wore masks, hand sanitizer was outside and inside the elevator. Even the remote for the TV was sanitized and in a sealed bag.""

  • Wonderful service despite COVID

    ""...The hotel was taking all the necessary precautions for managing CoVID and the staff and the service was excellent.
