We've stayed at the Claremont for years and the experience has been wonderful but this time in particular it was incredible. Our check-in has always been a little slower and not the friendliest people but today we had Effie and she was just a delight. She had a magnetic personality. She was very kind. She was very thoughtful and I just can't say enough. It was really a great experience. It's to walk in and be greeted with such a big smile after a long flight. It’s the little things that count:) thank you

Old world charm and views to die for. The room was also very nice and the service wonderful. The facilities include two huge heated outdoor pools and a serious gym with steam room and sauna. Maria at reception was super welcoming and made us feel very special helping celebrate our anniversary. We are very thankful ❤️

We enjoyed every moment of our stay at the Claremont Club & Spa, A Fairmont Hotel. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and very relaxing. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our experience even better. The views of the bay were beautiful, and the location is perfect—close to great restaurants and stores. Everything about our stay felt special, and we would definitely love to come back

I chose to stay here with my family to celebrate my 50th birthday. One of the reasons I love the Claremont is being welcomed by such a kind staff, especially Effie. She always takes the time to make me and my children feel invited and special. Her smile and presence at check in is a highlight for us. The wait staff in the restaurant and the valet boys are also very warm and professional. We can’t wait to go back .

Effie is incredible. Your establishment should be very lucky to have someone like her. She has warmth humour and hospitality. I ran a hospitality business that turned over 200mm per year and I would take her any day of the week. My partner and I came here to have a relaxing Monday and she has made our stay wonderful. Please ensue she is recognised for her wonderful hospitality. As a side note - the gentleman who is hosting at the bar near the entry is truly bizarre. He slammed the door right in front of my partner and I and stoned off after we asked where a trash can Wass. Very strange!
