Casa del Rey Hotel, Historic resort hotel in Santa Cruz, United States
The Casa del Rey Hotel stretched 335 feet by 135 feet along Beach Street, containing 300 rooms with private telephones and Italian gardens.
Fred Swanton constructed the Casa del Rey Hotel in 1911 for $500,000 as part of the development plan for the Santa Cruz Boardwalk area.
The Spanish Colonial Revival architecture of Casa del Rey Hotel incorporated elements that reflected California's heritage through its design and materials.
The hotel provided direct access to railroad services, streetcar connections, and featured a pedestrian bridge crossing Beach Street to reach the beach.
During World War II, the hotel transformed into a naval hospital that treated over 18,000 servicemen between March 1943 and April 1946.
