It is located in downtown Berkeley, just off campus of the University of California, Berkeley. The hotel is listed on the Berkeley register of historic places. HistoryThe hotel was built, in Spanish Colonial style, in 1928.[1] It was designed by W. H. Weeks.[2] It had 140 rooms and was both fire and earthquake resistant.[1] It also had one of the first basement garages in the area.[3] It was named for Henry Durant.[4] The bar, Henry's Publick House, is also a tribute to him. When the hotel opened it was described as a "modern luxury hotel". Harry Truman stayed at the hotel once.[1] Hostage incident{{Main|Henry's Pub Hostage Incident}}In 1990, 33 hostages were held at gun point at Henry's for seven hours by University of California, Berkeley student, Mehrdad Dashti, who had schizophrenia. The hotel bar was raided by police during the hold up. Dashti killed one hostage and an additional seven people were wounded.[5] OwnershipAs of 2006, the hotel was owned and managed by Creative Hospitality. In 2007, the property was purchased by Joie de Vivre Hospitality for $14 million.[6] Joie de Vivre invested $9 million in renovating the property.[4] The hotel was defaulted on as of 2011. The Royal Bank of Scotland took over as owner. Joie de Vivre continued to manage the property.[7] In September 2012 it was put up for sale.[4] The property was marketed by HVS Capital Corporation. In early 2013, they sold the hotel for approximately $27.3 million to Gemstone Hotels & Resorts.[7] Upon the purchase, 98% of the staff remained from the previous ownership. The hotel is frequented by visitors to the University.[3] In September 2015 it was purchased from Gemstone Hotels and Elliott Management Co. by Chicago-based Graduate Hotels for $47.5 million and renovated extensively, particularly the lobby and restaurant.[8] Upon completion of renovations, the hotel was reopened with its present theme and name in May 2017. [9][10] FacilitiesThe hotel's theme is based on the University of California, Berkeley. Lonely Planet describes it as "cheekily" in style. A mobile made of books hangs from the lobby ceiling. The walls of the lobby are decorated in yearbook photos from the university. Hotel rooms feature "dictionary-covered shower curtains and bongs repurposed as bedside lamps."[11] The gastropub inside the hotel is Henry's Publick House.[7] In 2009, Henry's "Everything but the Kitchen Sink Bloody Mary" Bloody Mary was voted the best in the East Bay by East Bay Express. The bloody mary features tomato juice made in-house and is topped off with a splash of Guinness.[12] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Hotel Durant|url=http://berkeleyplaques.org/e-plaque/hotel-durant/|website=Berkeley Historical Plaque Project|accessdate=14 August 2014}} {{Portal|San Francisco Bay Area}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Simmons|first1=Christopher|title=Historic Hotel Durant to Be Sold: Named for Cal’s First President, William Weeks Designed Boutique Opened in 1928|url=http://californianewswire.com/2012/09/04/CNW12358_235801.php/historic-hotel-durant-to-be-sold-named-for-cals-first-president-william-weeks-designed-boutique-opened-in-1928/|website=California Newswire|accessdate=14 August 2014}} 3. ^1 {{cite book|last=Fowler|first=Carol|title=Insiders' Guide to Berkeley and the East Bay|url= |date=1 November 2002|publisher=Insiders' Guides|isbn=978-0-7627-2373-7|page=49}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Dineen|first1=J.K.|last2=Torres|first2=Bianca|title=Cannae Partners pays $9.5M for Eastern Outfitting building|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/print-edition/2012/09/14/cannae-partners-pays-95m-for-eastern.html?page=all|website=San Francisco Business Times|publisher=American City Business Journals|accessdate=14 August 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|last1=Gross|first1=Jane|title=Berkeley Gunman Kills Student Taken Hostage|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1990/09/28/us/berkeley-gunman-kills-student-taken-hostage.html|website=The New York Times|publisher=The New York Times Company|accessdate=14 August 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Tate|first1=Ryan|title=Hotel firm Joie de Vivre makes first East Bay foray|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/stories/2007/08/06/story5.html|website=San Francisco Business Times|publisher=American City Business Journals|accessdate=14 August 2014}} 7. ^1 2 {{cite web|last1=Torres|first1=Bianca|title=Berkeley's Hotel Durant sells for $27.3M|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2013/02/berkeleys-hotel-durant-sells-for-273m.html|website=San Francisco Business Times|publisher=American City Business Journals|accessdate=14 August 2014}} 8. ^1 {{cite news |last=Pender |first=Kathleen |date=23 Mar 2017 |title=After renovation, Berkeley’s Hotel Durant keeps quirky charm |url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/networth/article/After-renovation-Berkeley-s-Hotel-Durant-keeps-11021092.php |work=SF Chronicle |location= |access-date=11 Nov 2018 }} 9. ^1 {{cite news |last=Mara |first=Janis |date=9 May 2017 |title=Storied Hotel Durant reborn as revamped Graduate Berkeley |url=https://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/05/09/storied-hotel-durant-reborn-revamped-graduate-berkeley |work=Berkeleyside |location= |access-date=14 Nov 2018}} 10. ^1 {{cite news |last=Lochner |first=Tom |date=31 Mar 2017 |title=Berkeley: Former Hotel Durant to reopen as Graduate Berkeley |url=https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2017/03/31/berkeley-former-hotel-durant-to-reopen-as-graduate-berkeley/ |work=East Bay Times |location=Berkeley, CA |access-date=14 Nov 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web|title=Hotel Durant|url=http://www.lonelyplanet.com/usa/california/berkeley/hotels/hotel-durant|website=Lonely Planet|accessdate=4 December 2018}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Best Bloody Mary|url=http://www.eastbayexpress.com/oakland/best-bloody-mary/BestOf?oid=1372225|website=East Bay Express/Best Of The East Bay 2009|accessdate=4 December 2018}} 8 : Buildings and structures in Berkeley, California|Hotels in the San Francisco Bay Area|Historic hotels in the United States|Residential buildings in Alameda County, California|Economy of Berkeley, California|1928 establishments in California|Hotel buildings completed in 1928|Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in California |
