Iconic and upscale hotel and spa in the Berkely Hills. Enjoy ridiculous views of the East Bay and San Francisco. The Claremont is about a 5 minute drive from the wedding venue.
Hotel
Lovely boutique hotel with newly renovated rooms. Get the full Berkeley experience. Two blocks from UC Berkeley Campus and close to BART. From the Shattuck, it's a 15-minute drive to the venue.
Hotel
Hip, midcentury motor lodge in upper Rockridge near the Piedmont neighborhood. Affordable and convenient. Parking included onsite. 7-minute drive to the venue.
Travel Note
It's easy to get around using rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft. Taxis are harder to come by (mostly at SFO and Oakland airports) and often require cash.
Travel Note
We recommend flying into either San Francisco International (SFO) or Oakland (OAK) airport. You'll likely have more flight options coming into SFO. However, OAK is smaller, less overwhelming, and easier to get in and out of. From SFO to Oakland/Berkeley, it's typically a 40-50-minute drive/Uber/Lyft (depending on traffic) or 1 hour-ish on BART. From OAK, it's about 20 minutes by car and 45 min to an hour by train.

Travel Note
The Bay Area has a number of different transit options: - BART is best for traveling between the East Bay and San Francisco - Buses are best within a city - Ferries are also a pleasant way to get to San Francisco or Sausalito If you plan on getting public transit, consider getting the Clipper app on your phone, which can be used for all forms of transit in the Bay Area: https://www.clippercard.com/ClipperWeb/new-to-clipper.html
