Hotel Description:
The Berkeley Hotel was opened in 1988 but the attention to detail and era leads most visitors to believe that it is much older. Upon selecting the site for a new boutique-style hotel in the historic Shockoe Slip careful planning and consideration went into the construction of The Berkeley Hotel. Since the site is in a historic district of Richmond the hotel was designed to be architecturally similar to the buildings surrounding it. Free wireless internet available throughout the hotel. The original idea of a European-style hotel became the focus for deciding upon a name so in recognition of the Berkeley Castle in England and the Berkeley Plantation the hotels name was created. Mr. Malcolm Jamison the owner of the Berkeley Plantation was The Berkeley Hotels very first guest at the grand opening in August 1988. Within just months after opening The Berkeley Hotel achieved the AAA four-diamond rating and has held this honor every year since. Over the years The Berkeley Hotel and The Dining Room have achieved countless awards and honors. The Berkeley Hotels uncompromising service and elegant surroundings capture the essence of the tradition of its namesakes Englands Berkeley Castle and Virginias Berkeley Plantation. The Berkeley Hotel stands at the crossroads of Richmonds business district and Historic Shockoe Slip. The Berkeley Hotels ambiance exudes serenity and warmth. Dark wood paneling in the boutique lobby and its adjacent dining room boasts a European flair where dramatic windows push to the ceiling offering diners a view of the Slips cobblestone and lamplights. Fifty-five elegantly appointed guest rooms display stylish decor and traditional furnishings from which scenes of revitalized Shockoe Slip may be enjoyed with its beautifully restored tobacco warehouses put to use as stylish new condominiums restaurants and boutiques. The Berkeley Hotel offers uncompromising AAA Four Diamond service including complimentary morning newspaper high-speed wireless inter

everything was great.
The hotel accommodations were fantastic. The room was large and very clean. The hotel staff bent over backwards to make sure that we received everything we asked for.

This is a great hotel. The staff is very friendly every time we called. We could not smell smoke at all, and our friends with us didn't even know it was a smoking room. We loved this hotel and hope to stay here again sometime.

Water was cut off on last night so in morning could not shower or use bathroom. Staff was not empowered to do anything. They said Manager would call to discuss and after almost a week have not heard one word.
