Claremont Hotel Club And Spa
Nestled atop a hilly backdrop in Berkeley, the Claremont Hotel has been an East Bay lodging icon for eons. This timeless hotel and racket club has managed to gain fans across the board, from Brad and Angelina to the Obamas. But, one standout feature of this vintage haven has to be the pool — hands-down. This expansive swimming area offers guests and spa-goers (or anyone willing to pay $30 for the day) a trio of hip dips. You’ll know where to find us on the next warm one.
