Chaminade Resort
Santa Cruz, California
Hospitality Design
Project Description
The historic Chaminade property was first built in the early 1900’s and used as a religious retreat and high school prior to becoming Chaminade Resort and Spa in 1985. Originally built in the Mission Style, additions over the years added elements that diverged into styles popular from the mid 1900s through the 1990s. Current ownership wanted an update that would create a cohesive design in all public spaces, renovating branding, signage, the entry experience, lobby, lounges, restaurant and meeting and event spaces. The Design Team created elegant, modern spaces that reflect the original Mission Style in a more contemporary aesthetic.
Scope
Chaminade Resort & Spa completed a $10 million transformation of the property’s public spaces including a new arrival experience, spacious lobby, signature restaurant, lounge and patio as well as 12,000 square feet of meeting and event space.
