If you're looking for a luxury hotel with a wealth of history, the Claremont Hotel and Spa is your place! Nestled in the Berkeley hills, the hotel is a true Bay Area landmark. Its architecture is so striking that the hotel can be spotted from across the bay in San Francisco. Each room is beautiful. Some have views of the San Francisco skyline while others have views of the wooded hills.

I attended my mom's wedding here last summer and was thoroughly impressed with the accommodations the staff provided. There are two restaurants on the premises so even if you're coming from out of town for the weekend, you have a variety of options for dining. In the summertime, you can enjoy the Claremont's pool - a rare find on the bay - and catch some sun.
