The Berkeley Hotel

Iconic Richmond Charm

About the INN

1988 Richmond Design

After a major reinvention in the 1970s, the Shockoe Slip’s neighborhood movement provided an idyllic location on the corner of 12th and Cary Streets NW to welcome a boutique-downtown hotel. Prior to opening our doors in the Historic District of Richmond, architectures devoted attention to the era detail of similar surrounding buildings. The inn’s castle-like inspired detail provides a historic element when visiting. The Berkeley Hotel sits along the James River and neighboring cobblestone streets.

Rich History. Stunning Architecture.

Richmond is easy to love. Only 100 miles from Washington, D.C. and 90 minutes from Virginia’s beaches and the spectacular Blue Ridge Mountains you won’t want to leave once you’re here. The river district and Shockoe Slip are popular destinations for corporate retreats, romantic getaways, and family travels.

We were there with my husband and after hiking all we want to do was going back to the motel and spend time relaxing in our room with a breathtaking view. I highly recommend this place if you don’t like hotel chains or big places. We’ll definitely go back.

“Our 1 and only place to stay in town! Delightful from pre-trip to after, always personable, and professional and a true treasure in every way. Loved the location, loved the service, loved the people and glad Chef Tony is right next door at Sam Miller's!! Thanks. Berkeley!!!

-Jen

“This is a great boutique hotel. The location is amazing if you like a nightlife. Plenty of places to try and not far from anywhere in the city. The staff is amazing and attentive. It is located within a 15 min walk of the train station. They offer valet parking or there is a parking deck behind the restaurant across the street. I just took the train a then used rideshare. I never waited long, and it saved me from trying to find parking in the city.”

"If you are planning a trip to Richmond, especially, if it's to be in downtown Richmond I highly recommend The Berkeley. There is plenty to do nearby, it is close to the highway system and getting around is easy, and there are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance. The Berkeley is one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in and would definitely stay there again if I am ever in Richmond.”

“We had an excellent stay at The Berkeley hotel this past weekend. We were supposed to go camping but it started storming so we decided to book a hotel room last second. Boy did The Berkeley hotel help us out! Chris from Valet was also fantastic and let us know that our car was in safe keeping. We were traveling across country, and we’re very concerned about our belongings. So, shout out to Chris for making us feel at ease.”

“My boyfriend & I stayed 2 nights, and we were greeted by the amazing staff at the front desk! They were friendly and made us feel welcomed and at home. We were warned that our room was a dark room because it was nestled above an alley, but we thought it was perfect & romantic. Our room was beautiful and clean. Everything was in walking distance. I accidentally left my personal items (iPad, money, etc.) when we checked out, I called the front desk, and was happy to find all my stuff waiting for me when I got there. I will also add that their valet was incredibly courteous and timely with our vehicle. If you do use this service, please note that they accept CashApp if you are nice enough to tip. I highly recommend. 10/10. Will be back.”
