Hi All,

On September 20th Hotel Casa 425 Claremont’s newest truly upscale boutique hotel will officially open it’s doors. It’s 28 rooms will give business and leisure travelers a wonderful place to unwind after exploring the Village, touring the College’s or shopping for their new Claremont home.

I am looking forward to seeing Hotel Casa 425 for myself and am thrilled to have such a beautiful, elegant and unique hotel joining the already beautiful, elegant and unique area that is The Claremont Village.

Take care,

The following is taken from the Press Release sent to me about this exciting project.

Built in the style of historic California Mission architecture with refined contemporary styling, Hotel Casa 425 will offer four types of rooms with rates ranging from $165 for a King Deluxe guest room to $400 for a Deluxe Spa Room with jetted spa tub or a Premier Executive guest room with a sitting area and large, private patio.

Offering contemporary luxury and comfort, all rooms are spacious and include double French doors opening onto a patio; a luxury Tempur-Pedic™ Dreamspa Bed heaped with pillows and covered in fine linens and a down duvet; oversized soaking tub and separate shower; 32” wall mounted, flat panel television that can be viewed from the tub or bed; DVD player and complimentary movies; spa-quality amenities; plush bathrobes; hair dryer, iron and ironing board; generous open shelving and closet space; refrigerators with complimentary bottled water; gourmet coffee and tea; free local calls and personal voicemail; a desk as well as a lap desk for working in bed; and a MP3-compatible alarm clock with CD player.

Guests will enjoy a variety of complimentary amenities, including wireless Internet access in all common areas and guest rooms; a European-style breakfast; fresh fruit and house-baked cookies; a fitness room; business center; the use of power strips and chargers for iPods, cell phones, BlackBerries and other PDAs; a library of music CDs, DVDs, books newspapers and games; concierge service; bicycles on which to explore the village; free covered parking; and a travel snack bag upon departure. The hotel will also offer guests same-day dry cleaning.

Entrances to the 28 guest rooms open onto a central interior courtyard, whose canopy of trees, furniture, fountains and fire pits create the feel of an outdoor living room. Those enjoying the hotel’s indoor bar and lounge–with its signature drinks, extensive wine list and gourmet small plates–are also invited to enjoy this outdoor space, which will include film screenings on designated evenings.

“We expect the courtyard lounge area to become a popular hangout and meeting place,” said Jonathan Tolkin, president of the Tolkin Group. “The hotel has also already received several event booking requests from community and business groups that are excited about the courtyard.” The hotel offers an ideal setting for meetings, weddings and social events.

The Tolkin Group’s other successful developments in Southern California include the Metlox complex in Manhattan Beach, portions of Santa Monica’s Third Street Promenade and a variety of adaptive re-uses of historic buildings in Old Town Pasadena. Four Sisters Inns, a full service hotel management company specializing in small, upscale properties, will manage the hotel. With more than 31 years of hospitality management experience, Four Sisters Inns has developed a comprehensive menu of professional services catering to owners of smaller, high-end hotel properties. These owners benefit from the hands-on expertise that Four Sisters Inns has gained in owning and operating a prestigious collection of upscale inns, which currently includes properties in the California Wine Country and Washington. Tolkin Group President Jonathan Tolkin and Four Sisters Inns President Shelley Claudel have been directly involved in all aspects of developing Hotel Casa 425’s operations.
