Enjoy a beach getaway to Dream Inn Santa Cruz, a renovated 1963 retro chic property just a short stroll from Santa Cruz beach boardwalk.
To capture its 1960s vibes, the fully renovated hotel boasts whimsical retro-surfer décor, a nod to Santa Cruz’s history as a surfing mecca. Each guestroom features an ocean view with dark wood, 60s-style furnishings and turquoise accents. Named after legendary surfer, wetsuit inventor, marine advocate and Santa Cruz native, the on-site Jack O’Neill Restaurant and Lounge serves up a classic beachy feel.

Meeting and event space is also on offer.
For some friendly competition, groups can book Dream Inn’s new Iron Chef Competition, which pits teams against each other to cook for the title of Iron Chef.
