Chaminade Resort & Spa nestled amidst 300 acres of Redwoods in California’s Santa Cruz mountains provides breathtaking vistas of Monterey Bay and equally inspiring vignettes of its $10 million renovation. San Francisco-based EDG Interior Architecture & Design restored the integrity of the 1930’s Spanish Revival architecture with authentic period details, while updating it in a Spanish-modern style with a newly designed lobby, signature restaurant and lounge, outdoor areas and meeting and event space.
EDG’s President/CEO Jennifer Johanson said, “We created multiple indoor-outdoor social spaces to optimize the guest’s connection to the outdoor landscape to create the ultimate mountaintop retreat…Throughout the space, modern and traditional design elements are juxtaposed, restoring the romance of the original architectural heritage with a modern perspective.” Bray Whaler has completed several phases of renovation for the hotel over the years and believes this recent transformation to be the icing on the beautiful cake.
