Near downtown Santa Cruz, Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection has completed a major renovation of its public spaces. With 170 guest rooms and nearly 5,000 square feet of special event space, the Hotel Paradox is capitalizing on its presence as the only Autograph Collection property in Santa Cruz County, featuring 1,500 square feet of deck space adjacent to a redwood-tree adjacent pool.

Designers maximized the footprint of its onsite restaurant by expanding the seating area, employing glass where possible and extending the ceiling, designing a seamless transition from indoors to outside. Santa Cruz native Chef Stefan Shatto is combining his ag-based culinary roots with the culture of community that is intrinsic to the region to reimagine the menu offerings at Solaire, the onsite eatery.  Forest-themed touches and modern furnishings enhance the lobby-meets-lounge common area, bringing nature-inspired touches to the indoor space.
