Very classy and well-decorated lounge! There's an outdoor and an indoor area. Waiters will take your order promptly and are very friendly, attentive, and love to chat with you. Their drinks are pricey compared to other places nearby, but it's worth it for the atmosphere here. Definitely try the "Pimms Cup" drink - very refreshing on a hot summer evening. The "Fleur de Pear" martini is also very delicious and aromatic.
Come earlier in the evening and try to grab a seat around one of the ultra-modern fire pits outside. The lounge is open until midnight, but the outdoor area closes at 11 pm (to allow the hotel's guests to sleep, I suppose). I'm so glad a place like this finally opened up in the area! And there is no location for it more befitting than Claremont.

This is by far one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The rooms are clean, amazingly decorated and the breakfast is so delicious.
This is such a classy hotel nestled in beautiful little Claremont.
Love love love this place.

Me likes... a lot! I eyed this place for months. The hotel is placed right in the center of the newer downtown Claremont, and I drove by an awful lot before I finally got the chance to go. Every night, they've got an outdoor lounge in the hotel patio area, very laid back, the fire pits and comfy couches make you wish you had booked a room for the night. The drinks are good and generous, and the menu includes some interesting concoctions, The Desperate Housewife is a notable favorite.

Very nice and a great place to hangout with friends with a drink.  Service was good and our server was very attentive & always asked if we were doing OK unlike the last few places I've been too.  I went during Happy Hour and the drinks were at a decent price!  Need a place to get away to just talk with friends over a drink.  425 is YOUR Place in Claremont.

Great martini's... if your into that sort of thing.

Nice environment but it reminds a bit of LA. I'm not really a huge fan of the decor although it is very nice and I have nothing bad to say about it. Neat fireplaces all over the place... inside and out. I'm just more into the smaller more intimate places.

And about those martini's they've got a ton of options. And they have their own recipes. Including but not limited to the "Bloody Mary Martini" mmmm... delish! It has tomato infused vodka in it. Try it!

They also have a decent wine and scotch list for those not into martini's.

Classy and intimate lounge--elegantly avantgarde--but a little short on space. It just wasn't my thing. Then again, it was for a--somewhat awkward and cold--high-school reunion reception.

They've got a cool firepit outside in the courtyard that I almost fell into.

This here is a nice addition to the Claremont scene.  Very cool and classy in design.  We sat outside on a nice evening and enjoyed a bottle of wine.  Our server was first-rate.  It's not wildly cheap nor is it prohibitively pricey.

Food-wise, I have one word:

Sliders.

ok... i went here for happy hour (actually i am here right now) and if you are cool with well drinks the drink menu is whatever you want but beyond that there is literally nothing!  1 red wine, 1 white and the $5 plats they advertise are french fries!  and there are 2 (yes that is a total of 3 things!) other things.  so yeah, for happy it is a definite PASS.  but yes it is cool inside.

I LOVED this bar-ette. It's a small, quaint and warm-ish place. Its tangerine walls and white contrast are invigorating! Warm, and bright and welcoming and soothing and calm - all at the same time. Very well-done. I loved the bartender. She knew what was up, left and right and made me an excellent drink - their Violet Night. Worth every expensive penny!

They had an elegant fireplace that sat between the lounge and the lobby. It was dual sided fireplace and it was lovely. A similar one that was outside, was made from white and glass objects and could carry one's interest for hours. Sitting outside on a cool summer evening, sipping their creative drinks would be just as wonderful on a cold winter night, with adult hot chocolate or an excellent brandy - of which they have more than a few to choose from.

They have an interesting beer called Drop Top Amber Ale that I enjoyed a great deal and snacks that looked wonderful! I was sad that I had been out earlier and was too full to enjoy the tid-bits offered (in fact, I was at the Casablanca, across the street!). The especially interesting to me was the "Meat and Cheese" platter they offer - something I ate as a child ("cheese-n- meat") and was a great bit of yumminess in the mid afternoon.

All in all, the feel of the place was great. I enjoyed it and am hoping to get one of my girlfriends to come with me sometime! I'm so glad to see Claremont expanding in such a way. I hope to stay at this lovely hotel for my 2nd wedding anniversary, or perhaps anotyher important, romantic date in my life. Or just some average Thursday ;)

It was  a fine place, an enjoyable place and a wonderful addition the New Village!

My sis, my two cousins, and I showed up wayyyy past  last call. (the bars in claremont close up around 12) We did make friends with the guys at the front desk reception and also we were able to check out the bar. Pretty classy and laid back lounge! Pretty sure I would enjoy a place with that setting.
