Santa Cruz County, California - Santa Cruz's Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection in California is embracing the creative community that surrounds it by commissioning a local artist to create a mural for the front of the building. Now complete, the larger-than-life piece was created by local artist Jeremiah Kille.   

Jeremiah combines abstract and realism to deploy a stylistic approach to the themes of nature and coexistence. His background as a custom surfboard builder with deep ties to the Santa Cruz surf and skate culture are evident in the movement expressed in his work; a colorful homage to the vibrancy of youth. Jeremiah's murals are both inspired by and investigative of finality.   

Hotel Paradox is working to install two additional murals by local artist Taylor Reinhold that will be gracing the building as well, enshrouding nearly the entire property.   

Opened in 2012 with a recent renovation completed in October 2023, 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's  culture of community that is intrinsic to the region is apparent in 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. The property features 170 guest rooms and nearly 5,000 square feet of special event space.
