The Graduate - Berkeley

More scenes from the Graduate Hotel in Berkeley. This place actually has quite a colorful history. When we stayed here is was called the Hotel Durant and was part of the Joie de Vie chain. When you dig deeper you learn that the 1928-built hotel was named after Henry Durant, the founder of the University of California, and that his namesake pub was the site of hostage incident in 1990.
