Claremont Resort & Club

It was a pleasure staying at the Claremont the past few days. I had been a little concerned because it recently had a management change. Fortunately, new management seems committed to much-needed physical improvements and upkeep (there's scaffolding around parts of the exterior at the moment). And - MOST IMPORTANTLY - THE PEOPLE, the staff. New management has shown its smarts by ensuring legacy knowledge and familiar faces are here. It was great to be welcomed back by Effie at Reception, who is warm, caring, and makes every guest feel like family. Concierges Jennifer and Jeanie took good care of us (the laundry service took the holiday weekend off, so concierge had our laundry done in-house). Lanny at Limewood front-of-house seats dinner guests perfectly and keeps the room on point. Bell staff Greg and Julian, both of whom have been at the property for years, are terrific. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you Claremont Team!

I am visiting from Alaska and have never stayed at such a fancy resort! Effie was very kind and helpful when I needed to make a phone call to my bank during check in!

Attend a conference at UC Berkeley and this resort was nearby. Nice facilities and great food. Effie from the front desk was incredible helpful. 10/10

Effie greeted us warmly and treated us like family and is wonderful. The resort is a beautifully maintained historic site in the Oakland Hills with stunning views. Our room was clean, charming, and the bed was very comfortable. Next time we will stay longer to take advantage of all the amenities.

We had a wonderful experience at the Claremont on a recent family holiday, made especially nice by the excellent service and attention from Effie at the front desk. We had been concerned about disruption during renovation work, and Effie made sure this was not an issue. She also ensured we had a smooth and happy few days in and around Berkeley, with excellent tips and recommendations.
