Welcome to Save Our Claremont!
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to representing the best interests of the community surrounding the historic and beloved Claremont Hotel. Together with hotel owners, other neighborhood organizations, and city officials, we promote a safe and mutually beneficial future.
The Claremont Hotel is under new ownership. Ohana Real Estate Investors, a luxury property company with locations nationally and overseas, purchased the hotel in May 2023. Fairmont continues to manage day to day operations of the hotel and club/spa. Ohana’s focus is on increasing hotel and club/spa amenities that include expanding membership and building an additional pool. They also plan to upgrade the grounds, expand event bookings, improve walkability and circulation, and preserve parking. No residential development nor any changes to the hotel interior are planned. To mitigate fire risk posed by the Eucalyptus grove behind the hotel 20 trees will be removed this year, followed by additional trees over the next five years.
Ohana is committed to including community input. Save Our Claremont leadership has had friendly and informative meetings with Ohana. Ohana held two community meetings in early September (one virtual, the other in-person), and one meeting with club members to discuss plans and concerns. We are pleased with early interactions and hope for continued transparency, communication, and improvements. Ohana is awaiting a response to revised plans for improvements from the City of Oakland. We await news regarding Ohana’s revised plans and will let you know as soon as we have more information.
Best,
Save Our Claremont team
