The Berkeley City Club in Berkeley, California operates as a historic hotel, private social club, event venue, and fine dining restaurant. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of Historic Hotels of America, reflecting its architectural and cultural significance. The club was conceived in 1927 by a group of women who hired architect Julia Morgan to design and supervise construction, and it opened in November 1930 as the Berkeley Women's City Club, later nicknamed the Little Castle for its design echoes. At its height as a social club, it counted about 4,000 female members, and in 1965 it began admitting both men and women. Today it remains a small hospitality-focused operation in Berkeley, offering a multi-use space for events and dining while preserving its historic character.
