I love this dream of a hotel that looks like a wedding cake. I’ve been coming for decades and the staff is lovely—especially Effie at the front desk who even learned the names of my children and not because they did something bad! She always made my stays extra welcoming, and I’ve stayed a lot over the years. So sad to see the spa go. The spa was an icon of how amazing spas can be with the full Vichy waters and historic tile work and the best spa for a mother-daughter getaway or any spa getaway in the east bay if not the entire Bay Area. I hope the new owners of the hotel reconsider this choice and keep this grand old place a refuge of taste and quiet luxury always.

I love everything about The Claremont starting with the view as you drive up, the view from the bar, the view from the room, the view from the pool, the view from the gym and of course, the food. We ate at The Limewood five times in 3 days and everything on the menu was delicious. Staff was cool, the room was cool, the spa was cool, the pool was cool. The Claremont is cool. I heard the spa is closing which felt like a piercing in my heart. Sadness.

The Claremont is a special place with lovely grounds and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay! The rooms are lovely and clean, the lobby is always decorated with gorgeous flowers and plants and the ambiance is great!
