Complementing the retail, office, and cinema components of the Claremont Village Expansion development is Casa 425, a three-story, 27 room boutique Inn. While the exterior design reflects the traditional mission-style architecture of the nearby Claremont Colleges, Casa 425 also includes many unique elements. Rooms incorporate high ceilings and open tubs. Balconies wrap the interior face of the building forming a “cortile” that is crowned with a timber pergola. French doors open from the guest rooms onto individual cabanas that line the three-level courtyard, offering views to gardens below and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond. Design by Tolkin Architecture.
