Within just months after opening in 1988, The Berkeley Hotel achieved the AAA four-diamond rating and has held this honor every year since. The Berkeley Hotel's uncompromising service and elegant surroundings capture the tradition of its namesakes; England's Berkeley Castle and Virginia's Berkeley Plantation. The graciousness of its classic restaurant and the furnishings of its rooms reflect an era when inn-keeping was art.
