The Claremont Resort & Club is a historic American hotel that is situated at the foot of Claremont Canyon in the Berkeley Hills. Located in the Claremont district, near the intersection of Claremont Avenue and Ashby Avenue, the site straddles the city limits of Berkeley and Oakland. The border between the neighboring cities runs down the former Key System E train right of way that now serves as a pathway between the tennis courts which belong to the Berkeley Tennis Club.
At its elevation of 400 ft (120 m), the site provides scenic views of San Francisco Bay.
The building is made of wood. With its 160 feet (49 meters), the central tower of the hotel is one of the world’s tallest wooden buildings.
