You can gain so much experience by doing more in an independent hotel. People are open to ideas and working in an urban resort is very different than working at other hotels. There is a separate private club and spa facility, so you can work with the different business units all under one roof. The Claremont Hotel is a historical landmark in Berkeley, CA, so there is rich history as well. Having a background in operations also opens a lot of doors for any career in the future.

Growth Opportunity: There is plenty of growth opportunity - many associates move to different departments because they want to learn more. As mentioned before, having a background in operations opens a lot of doors for any career in the future.

What is The Claremont Hotel Club & Spa?
Situated overlooking the San Francisco Bay, the Claremont Hotel sets new heights in service, amenities, and accommodations. While its 279 rooms all offer a mix of old world charm and California comfort, no two are alike. Each has its own distinct appeal – breathtaking Bay views, PURE allergy-friendly accommodations, a spacious suite for families, a comforting space for one traveler. The blue-and-gold décor harkens to the Claremont’s rich history, originally a romantic castle at the start of the Gold Rush and later a grand hotel during the Age of Romanticism. Newly renovated and recently recognized by Expedia with the Insider’s Select Award for excellence, the majestic hotel on the hill focuses on providing you with an exclusive experience.
The Claremont Hotel Club & Spa's Culture?
Since we're an independent, we have to work together very closely. You will spend more time with your co-workers than anyone else, so teamwork is very important. It is inspiring to work as everyone is interested in providing excellent service to Claremont's guests.
The Claremont Hotel Club & Spa's Mission
The Claremont Hotel Club & Spa remains a place where its inhabitants’ dreams routinely come true.
Talk about your experience and your goals and your passion. Doesn't matter if you're fresh out of college!
