Fodor's Expert Review The Bancroft Hotel
2680 Bancroft Way, Berkeley, California, 94704, USA
This eco-friendly boutique hotel—across from the U.C. campus—is quaint, charming, and completely green. The American clay walls literally clean the air, the chic drapes are made from recycled soda-pop bottles, and the rich wooden floors come from sustainably harvested trees. The decor is mostly soothing greens and browns, and the bedroom furniture is designed to fit the 1920s-style building. Book well in advance.
PROS
- closest hotel to U.C. campus
