The Berkeley Hotel

Iconic Richmond Charm
About the Hotel
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 hotel's castle-like inspired detail provides a historic element when visiting. The Berkeley Hotel sits along the James River and neighboring cobblestone streets, and hosts a new restaurant, Chef's Kitchen, in it's lobby.

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.
