About The Palomar Inn
The Palomar Hotel in downtown Santa Cruz was designed by the prominent early 20th century architect William Henry Weeks. Built in 1929 then remodeled in 1985 and 1990, the building represents a commitment to quality construction and details of... design that are rare today. The Palomar was the pride of the Santa Cruz Community when built and it remains a beautiful and historic downtown landmark.
The structure is a concrete-clad vertical-ribbed style that is quintessential late 1920s American modernism. It is embellished with elaborate Art Deco-inspired elements, including the busts of conquistadores and natives embedded in the upper façade. The exterior incorporates such details as chevron geometric designs and terracotta demi-relief sculptures. Architect William H. Weeks is primarily known for his many school and library designs and is recognized for his proficiency in the Spanish Eclectic and Art Deco styles. His work is found throughout California, including the greater Santa Cruz area, as his original California practice was founded in Watsonville.
The Palomar Inn is now a residential property with 94 SRO units and 3, 1-bedroom apartments, providing a safe and gracious homesite with downtown convenience.
All units have a private bathroom
All rooms have a mountain, bay, or downtown view
