Resort Report: Spa Claremont, Berkeley, CA

Imagine lying on a warm, suspended environment, cocooned in a Mandarin Spice Wrap infused with sandalwood mist. That’s what my wife experienced for 50 minutes on a recent visit to the award-winning Claremont Resort & Spa in the hills of Berkeley. With panoramic views of San Francisco’s skyline and the bay, this beautiful resort, situated on 22 landscaped acres, opened its doors in 1915.

The renovated 2o,000 square foot Spa Claremont has been frequently honored as one of the country’s best. Choose from a long menu of exotic body wraps, massages and day spa packages, from $65 and up, as well as Winemaker and Visiting Chef Dinners, 279 resort guest rooms, two sparkling outdoor pools, a 10-court Tennis Center, remodeled Fitness Club, and Jordan’s, a Four Diamont restaurant.
