Loved by guests
"The best features are the style of the hotel: very fun, playful and hip; the restaurant: food is elevated and a great value; and the pool/hot tub area."
"The swimming pool are was fantastic, including the ability to have drinks, served by a very kind and humorous waiter !"
"Despite being in a close location to downtown and Boardwalk, when at the property you're surrounded by trees and feel isolated from all that."
The 4-star Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection Santa Cruz is situated in the Westside Santa Cruz district, 16 minutes' walk from the arts theater "Rio Theatre", and boasts a sun deck and spa therapy. Featuring 170 rooms with views of the pool, this charming hotel is 2.1 km from Neary Lagoon Park.

“I see a hip, stylish hotel that makes a virtue of its proximity to both the beach and downtown Santa Cruz. The design thoughtfully incorporates natural elements, while amenities like the pool, fire pits, and Solaire restaurant aim to provide a resort-like experience. I do note concerns raised about inconsistent service for loyalty program members, which prospective guests should consider.”
