About The Claremont:
It has been operating continuously since 1915, a landmark with a distinctive architecture that so impressed Frank Lloyd Wright that he referred to it as "…one of the few hotels in the world with warmth, character and charm." The Claremont, with its 279 uniquely designed rooms, acclaimed spa and restaurants, has earned a coveted AAA Four-Diamond status consecutively for nearly a decade. The 262 guest rooms and 17 suites of the Claremont reflect an elegant yet warm design, blending traditional and contemporary accents consistent with its casual California heritage, with many rooms offering stunning views of the San Francisco Bay. Its grand high-ceilinged lobby and the graceful archways of its suites are reminders that the Claremont is a vintage property with the kind of character and distinction that is increasingly rare. All rooms include spacious work areas for business travelers, high-speed Internet, speaker phones and entertainment centers with 37-inch flat screen TVs. Just as important, the Claremont's gracious, sophisticated staff is at the ready to attend to any guest request. The 22-acres of hillside grounds and gardens give the property an illusion of seclusion, with all of the attractions of San Francisco, the Bay Area and California Wine Country conveniently accessible.
