Claremont Club & Spa, A Fairmont Hotel has been a San Francisco landmark for over a century, gazing out over the Bay Area from a picturesque hillside between Berkeley and Oakland since 1915. The site, originally owned by the Thornburg family who dreamed of living in an English palace, was once home to a grand estate that locals coined the "castle." The moniker stuck. Affectionately dubbed the "White Castle on the Hill" since the early 1930s, this 22-acre metropolitan escape has stood the test of time, seeing everyone from legendary musicians to foreign dignitaries pass through its doors. Following an $80 million restoration to mark the hotel's 100th anniversary, the Claremont Club & Spa effortlessly blends the historic charm of its Tudor Revival-style facade with luxurious contemporary comforts and impeccable attention to detail.
