Claremont Resort & Club

Booked 2 queen, got a king room. Since 2q was needed, an upgrade was required. Original room with 2q would have been too small for a family. Upgraded room was large enough for our needs.

Tennis court flood lights are on at night, requiring fully blocking the windows. But then the fresh Californian air is also blocked, and running A/C is required. $33 for make-your-own omelette out of 2 eggs and 3 toppings is wildly overpriced, indicating that the hotel aims to squeeze as much money as possible out of its aging facilities.

Everything was lovely and our visit was greatly enhanced by Concierge Jennifer able assist with our car and Alcatraz reservations.

I would like to give a special thank you to Hannah at the front desk for her exceptional service. Although check-in was scheduled for 3:00 PM, we arrived around 11:00 AM simply intending to drop off our bags. She graciously accommodated us with an early check-in at no additional cost and provided us with a room featuring a beautiful view overlooking the city. The rest of the staff were equally friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The hotel itself was clean, well-maintained, and very aesthetically pleasing. However, the fifth floor did have a noticeable musty odor, reminiscent of old or stale cigarette smoke. Additionally, the bed was quite firm, which may not suit those who prefer a softer mattress. The restaurant experience was average. While the staff were attentive and kind—kind enough to remove a drink I didn’t enjoy from the bill—the food and beverages did not particularly stand out. Overall, despite a few minor drawbacks, we had a positive experience and would consider staying here again in the future.

Loved it, beautiful charming building

We had a wonderful time! Effie was so helpful when we checked in and everyone here was so friendly!

Another wonderful stay at the Claremont in Berkeley. The hotel is always beautiful and such a special place to visit. For us, it’s always a 10. The Club is truly something else, and the gym is amazing. The restaurant never disappoints, and Chef Joseph is incredibly talented. A special thank you to the concierge team, who were so sweet with our dog and made him feel just as welcome as we were with some great treats. We always love coming back here.

My wife and I have stayed at The Claremont Resort & Club a few times over the years, and it never disappoints. The property has a beautiful upscale, vintage charm and a great overall vibe. The fitness and wellness offerings are excellent — tennis, pickleball, a large pool, and a well-equipped gym. We also had a great dinner on-site and loved starting our mornings at the coffee shop with fresh pastries and sandwiches. It’s also very dog-friendly, which made the stay even better for us and our pup. We enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor spaces while he explored. The location is ideal — close to Berkeley and an easy trip into the city if you want to venture out. Highly recommend if you’re visiting the area — we’ll definitely be back.

Just an incredible property to stay at with an equally incredible team. Great food in the restaurant at breakfast, just delicious and amazing views.

This is my home away from home when visiting my daughter from the east coast. It is the best spot around and if you keep an eye out, you can find a deal here and there.

Despite being close to Oakland, the property feels safe and well managed. The beds are very comfortable, and the updated interiors use calming colors that create a relaxing atmosphere. It’s generally quiet as well, which makes it a great place to unwind or even get some work done.
