The Claremont is a California landmark hotel dating from 1915 and offers upscale rooms, plus pools, a spa and dining options.
The hotel is only 12 miles from San Francisco, located in the hills of Berkeley and Oakland, both cities unique, with character, and full of vitality! After visiting this hotel, you will want to move to this gorgeous area!
There is a breakfast spot less than a block away called Rick and Anne's that I highly recommend. Also, the hotel offers a cafe called Provisions which has breakfast and lunch items. The provisions cafe has $5.00 croissants that they make in house.
The resort is set among 22 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, and is even dog friendly! They offer tennis, swimming, fitness activities and classes, Pilates, and hiking at nearby Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve.
The Claremont offers a full kids club program with camps including swimming.
Since Covid the restaurant hours are more limited, reservations are needed. There are many excellent local restaurants.
The theme for this summer is "Summer of Love!" There is a retro 60's bus parked in the parking lot among beautiful murals. The resort has created exciting programming involving the "Summer of Love" theme. Break out and pack your tie-dye, daisies, and peace signs clothing! There are photo opportunities around the resort to share with friends!
The Claremont has a beautiful spa with limited hours during covid, so plan ahead.
