This July 12, Claremont Resort & Club proudly celebrates its 110th anniversary—an extraordinary milestone filled with timeless elegance, evolving luxury, and a rich legacy in the Berkeley Hills. For more than a century, this iconic resort has offered guests an unrivaled blend of natural beauty, refined hospitality, and a commitment to wellness. In 2025, the celebration continues with special activations, guest offerings, and historic preservation efforts designed to honor its past—and redefine its future.
A Legacy Carved Into the Hills
Since its opening in 1915—it began as the Claremont Hotel—the resort has become a hallmark of East Bay luxury. Situated on 22 lush acres, its striking Tudor Revival architecture and towering wooden structure (one of the tallest of its kind) have made it a landmark visible from across the Bay. Over the decades, it has hosted generations of families, dignitaries, and celebrities—renowned for its elegance, hospitality, and stunning vistas.
Honoring History with Purposeful Renewal
Undergoing its second phase of exterior restoration in summer 2025, the resort is investing in both beauty and longevity. Thoughtful restoration work will preserve its historic charm—while elevating guest experience through enhanced spaces—ensuring that the landmark lives on for decades to come.
A Modern Celebration of Timeless Traditions
This summer, Claremont invites guests and members to join month‑long celebrations marking 110 years of hospitality. Expect exclusive offers, curated events, and a chance to experience fresh programming that reimagines tradition through a modern lens—including artful evenings like Saturday “Sip & Stroll” events featuring history, flavor, and the resort’s storied past.
World-Class Amenities Rooted in Heritage
Throughout its storied life, Claremont has prioritized wellness in all forms. Today, that legacy continues with an exceptional array of amenities: the Forbes‑awarded spa, 10 outdoor tennis courts (with seasonal pickleball enhancements), three heated saltwater pools, and expansive fitness facilities . These offerings honor the resort’s longstanding reputation as a destination for revitalization and connection.
A Community Hub Across Generations
More than a hotel, Claremont is a shared community—a private club and public refuge that has welcomed locals and travelers alike. With amenities for junior members, extended family, and longtime Bay Area patrons, the resort fosters a spirit of belonging that transcends guests and seasons.
Looking Ahead: A Future Anchored in Legacy
