Overview
Simply put, the Claremont Club & Spa is gorgeous. Set near the University of California-Berkeley campus, this AccorHotels outpost boasts enviable views of the San Francisco Bay and a relaxed atmosphere. Recent guests were delighted by the Claremont's Old World ambiance (as seen in accommodations' chandeliers, dark wood furniture and textured fabrics) and its luxury amenities, such as tennis courts and a full-service spa. Guest rooms here also feature flat-screen TVs, Keurig coffee makers and minibars. Meanwhile, the Claremont's in-house eateries also earn praise from previous diners for their relaxed settings and scrumptious cuisine. Meritage specializes in small plates and wine tastings, and the Bayview Café serves up casual fare poolside. The customer service staff members also earn a thumbs-up for their friendly demeanor. However, travelers note that staying at this property will require a sizable chunk of your vacation budget.

This Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star resort situated just outside of San Francisco offers everything from aquatic activities to tennis to wine tasting on its expansive grounds. ... Entering the resort feels like stepping into an English estate; the pristine white façade, polished wood floors and rich rugs and upholstery immediately create a sense of sophistication, without being overly stuffy or pretentious.
Located in Berkeley Hills, this converted 1915 Victorian castle is a popular spot for honeymooners as well as a weekend getaway for the locals.
As pedigreed as the school it serves, this 97-year-old institution also has the aspect of a mountain resort – albeit one with a commanding view of San Francisco in the distance. It's well equipped with three pools, tennis courts, and a huge gym that welcome the UC community, including faculty, during playtime.
