In the redwoods just above Santa Cruz lies the legendary Chaminade Resort & Spa, a 1930s Spanish Revival-style hacienda that originally served as a boys school and monastery before being reimagined as a hotel in the mid-’80s.

The completion of a major multimillion-dollar renovation this spring has changed that, giving every one of them a polished, earthy palette and locally inspired details.
