The Hotel Paradox opening has lit a fire – literally – in the sleepy town of Santa Cruz. The chic new hot-spot pulled out all the stops for its unveiling.

The beach town’s stunning new hotel lived up to the it’s signature experience – Expect the Unexpected – with a big shabang. Stilt walkers, flame throwers, food, cocktails, and poolside dancing were all part of the inaugural festivities.

The hotel is already buzzing with its chic and luxurious vibe featuring unique sustainable touches. A large heated pool is the highlight of the outdoor area, which is fully equipped with a hot tub and cabanas.

As if hospitality couldn’t get better – Solaire Restaurant and Bar serves up delectable fresh farm-to-table American comfort food in a relaxing atmosphere.  Grab a drink, head to the pool, and relax in the Santa Cruz sun.

Coastal comforts await at Hotel Paradox.
