High Tide will serve as the hotel’s signature restaurant, celebrating Santa Cruz’s rich agricultural scene and local ingredients. For a vibrant atmosphere, Low Tide Bar & Grill offers craft cocktails, live music and contemporary flavors, while Pearl, a London-inspired Champagne bar, serves up personalized drinks, a great list of wines, and endless Champagnes and spirits.

It is no wonder its barrios are unique and distinct — some with steep terrain crawling up into the foothills of the Andes, some sitting close to the urban center and boasting busy cafés, music clubs, restaurants, food markets, and new residential and commercial high-rises.
