Accommodations in Berkeley
ASPE has not reserved a block of rooms at any specific hotel, so you will need to arrange your own accommodations. Below is a list of hotels in Berkeley provided for informational purposes only. ASPE does not endorse any particular hotel. However, some hotels may offer special rates for attendees of LBNL events and meetings if you mention that you are attending a special meeting at LBNL.

Downtown Berkeley Hotels on LBL shuttle route.
Transportation
Berkeley is served by 3 major airports: San Francisco International Airport (SFO), San Jose International Airport (SJC) and Oakland International Airport (OAK).
Berkeley Lab is located at 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley CA 94720 and has its own shuttle service that takes people around the site and to downtown Berkeley and to the BART station. Parking spaces are difficult to find on the Berkeley Lab campus, and you will need to prearrange for a parking permit via ASPE. ASPE will disseminate more information about parking permits at a later date.
For a complete listing of all of Berkeley’s transportation options and directions to Berkeley Lab, visit the Berkeley Lab website or the visitberkeley.com website.
