WHAT TO EXPECT
WELCOME TO HOTEL PARADOX
A Modern Alternative to the Traditional Santa Cruz Hotel
Look beyond the Surf City image of Santa Cruz and find things hidden in plain sight: Rugged mountains, majestic redwoods and vibrant communities.
This is where Hotel Paradox lives. From the architectural gridded façade to a sleek interior design and urban forest aesthetic, this Autograph Collection Hotel will challenge you with bold contradictions. Our engaging staff invites you to enjoy a curated experience where the ambiance is contemporary, inviting and a little bit mysterious. Around every corner, we stir your sense of adventure and make you question what is obvious. The outdoor pool and bar both soothes and stimulates your senses. Guest rooms are modern, natural and alive with local style.
Hotel Paradox… Expect the Unexpected.
