Claremont Club & Spa - A Fairmont Hotel

Hotel · Claremont Hills

@cntraveler

"Between the palm tree-lined drive and on-site tennis courts, the temperate NorCal weather and the castle-like Tudor Revival architecture, Claremont Club & Spa is an icon pulled straight from the halcyon days of the Bay Area. The property began as the private estate of the Thornburg family, and throughout the century, its storied rooms have hosted legendary guests like Louis Armstrong and Frank Lloyd Wright. Nowadays, Berkeley academics, Nobel laureates, and families from around the country filter through the lobby of this classic California hotel. Newly renovated guest rooms bring this historic landmark into the modern age. Soft blue and grey palettes make these spacious rooms feel soothing and opulent. There are sleek, modernized bathrooms to match—neutral wallpaper and chandeliers set the mood, while oversized soaking tubs provide a place for R&R. From its perch in the Berkeley Hills—a breezy 30-minute drive away from San Francisco—the Claremont Club & Spa provides a breath of respite from the land of tech giants and scrapping startups." - CNT Editors
