Claremont Resort & Club

What Claremont Resort & Club does

Claremont Resort & Club is a privately-held luxury resort founded in 1915, occupying a 22-acre hillside site at 41 Tunnel Road in Berkeley, California, with panoramic views of the San Francisco Bay. The property operates 276 guestrooms and suites, five distinct dining venues (Limewood Bar & Restaurant led by Chef Joseph Paire III, East Bay Provisions café, the newly renovated Bayview Terrace, the Lobby Lounge & Bar, and In-Room Dining), a Forbes 4-Star Spa with 32 treatment rooms, and more than 30,000 square feet of meeting and event space including two grand ballrooms and the new Secret Garden outdoor venue.

The core business model is a multi-vertical resort ecosystem spanning transient hotel stays, recurring The Club at The Claremont memberships (40,000 sq ft fitness facility, three heated saline pools, eight tennis courts, four pickleball courts, 75+ weekly group classes, and a Kids' Club), spa services, and bookable event packages for weddings, celebrations, and corporate retreats. Ancillary revenue is generated through a $50 nightly resort fee, parking ($36 self / $56 valet), a $49 daily pet fee, and a service-charge stack (22% gratuity on in-room dining; 18.5% service charge plus 1.5% admin fee at the spa).

Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the resort website (SynXis booking engine), toll-free reservations, and an RFP process for weddings and corporate meetings, supplemented by OpenTable for restaurant reservations, KIPSU for SMS-based racquet court booking, and Visiting Media virtual tours for venue previews. Marketing leverages Instagram (@claremontresort), Facebook, LinkedIn, an email newsletter, and earned media including consecutive Diablo Magazine Best Wedding Venue wins (2015, 2017, 2018, 2019), Smart Meetings Best Historic Hotel (2023) and Platinum Choice Award (2019), Forbes Best Family Resorts, and 2026 Diablo Magazine awards for Best Swim Lessons and Best Sports/Country Club. Customer segments include luxury leisure travelers, families, wedding couples, corporate groups, and Bay Area club members seeking ongoing wellness access.
