Claremont Resort & Club is nestled in the Oakland Hills, straddling both the cities of Berkeley and Oakland. Berkeley is a city with a small population and a big reputation, famous around the globe as a center for academic achievement, scientific exploration, free speech and the arts. Oakland has a personality of its own – the charter city has it all: massive parks, ancient redwoods, salty sea air from the bay, urban grandeur, suburban quaintness, and of course, a thriving food scene.
Located just 12 miles from downtown San Francisco and 45 miles to Sonoma wine country, the best of the Bay Area is right at your fingertips.
Explore the vibrant spirit of Oakland through local events, live music, and bustling markets. With a variety of family-friendly activities, it’s the perfect place to create special moments and lasting memories.
Expertly designed across natural terrain with sweeping views of San Francisco, this members-only course offers Claremont Resort & Club guests exclusive access to 9- or 18-hole play in groups of up to four.
Book Society is an elevated book and wine lounge nestled in Berkeley’s charming Elmwood neighborhood. Equal parts independent bookstore and inviting wine bar, it’s a destination for those looking to relax, unwind, and unplug. Guests are welcome to browse a thoughtfully curated collection of books, sip a glass of exceptional wine, or lounge with a delicious nibble in hand. With cozy seating, a warm ambiance, and a calendar of engaging events from book clubs to tastings. Book Society offers a one-of-a-kind experience where literature, conversation, and community meet.
