Claremont Resort & Club

Opening its doors in 1915, the dog-friendly Claremont Resort & Club has been revered as one of America’s iconic luxury hotels. An East Bay landmark, Claremont Club & Spa straddles the Berkeley/Oakland border, ideally located in the Oakland Hills overlooking scenic San Francisco Bay.

This newly restored urban resort is home to stunning guest rooms, award-winning restaurants, 20,000 square feet of meeting space, and a private social and tennis club.

Dogs are always welcome at the Claremont Resort & Club. Starting with treats available at the concierge or front desk, a comfy pet bed, water and food bowls, they will be pampered along with you from the moment they arrive.

Celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2015, Claremont joined the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts collection following an extensive renovation and proudly ushered in a new era of luxury for Berkeley, Oakland and beyond.
