Santa Cruz Prop. Gets New Name and Look

SANTA CRUZ, Calif.

The former University Inn & Conference Center has a new name, Hotel Paradox, and by June will have a new look. The new owners, BPR Properties, which acquired the 170-room hotel in October, say the multimillion-dollar remodel under way will result in a transformation.

The hotel's 8,000 square feet of meeting facilities will be entirely redesigned. The ballroom will accommodate up to 350 guests for a seated dinner, 500 guests for a meeting or divided upon requests. Six different meeting spaces will be available with a "retreat specialist" to help plan meetings.

David Issel, vice president operations at BPR Properties, elaborated on the new name.

"The Hotel Paradox presents a unique discovery for those who wish to solve its question," he said, "promising added 'quirky' touches to the service experience, including custom paradoxical amenities in the rooms."
