The Dream Inn has been a Central California Coast destination since its establishment in 1963. Originally a 4 story low-rise, The Santa Cruz Dream Inn now has an additional 10-story tower and boasts 165 ocean-view guestrooms. Arcsine was commissioned by development group, Ensemble, to refresh the classic, Mid-Century design, giving its retro vibes a fresh and contemporary feel.
Known as the only beach front hotel in Santa Cruz, the historic destination hosts visitors of all ages from vacationing families to traveling business guests. ‘Beachy, retro and playful’ were design buzz words that led to a palette of teals, tropical blues and shades of tangerine featured in lively art pieces, vibrant fabrics and wave-inspired patterns found throughout the hotel.
