A California boutique hotel collection
Boutique hotels,
with a calmer pulse.
Design-forward hotels in the places worth slowing down for, run on warm, tech-enabled hospitality. The comfort of a boutique hotel, without the front-desk friction.

Kitchenettes in every room
Fresh starts, your way. Every room has a fully-equipped kitchen or kitchenette.
Fast Wi-Fi & smart TVs
Stay connected or switch off. High-speed streaming, every time.
Walkable locations
We place our hotels in the town center, close to restaurants, shops, and the reason you came.
Boutique design
No two rooms look the same. Each hotel reflects its neighborhood and history.
The boutique difference
The warmth of a boutique hotel. The ease of modern tech.
Big-box hotels feel the same in every city. Vacation rentals leave you on your own. ZenStay sits in between: curated properties, real support, and seamless tech so the logistics disappear, and the stay stands out.
Each hotel is designed and maintained to The ZenStay Standard. Each stay includes the same attentive remote support. Familiar reliability, in an unfamiliar place.

What people say after a stay, about the spaces, and the team behind them.
★★★★★
“Property is extremely well kept and great atmosphere”
★★★★★
“The room was clean and comfortable, but it is in first floor still hear sound from second floor so overall we had a pleasant stay. However, I think the pet policy could be more clearly communicated before booking, so guests with pets can know exactly what to expect. there are quite a few restrictions and conditions for guests traveling with pets. With so many rules, it didn’t really feel as pet-friendly as we had expected. Overall, the stay was fine,”
★★★★★
“The room was very cozy and the location is perfect to explore the main streets. The stay was very nice”
★★★★★
“Fantastic location and very walkable to downtown SB. Access to EV charging was great, with reasonable charging costs. Neighborhood was a bit noisy due to construction across the street. Room was very clean and well stocked with useful items. Very friendly and helpful staff quick to respond.”

“Beautiful, clean, and modern! This was a very comfortable stay. It was at a great price point as well. The location was nearby to fun things to do. Will definitely book here again if I’m in the area!”
★★★★★
“My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary and we were thrilled with the entire experience. The renovations are beautiful and all of the amenities are well thought-out. The building itself is gorgeous and I wish we had more time to stay and enjoy the atrium because it was so peaceful and thoughtfully decorated. The beds were comfortable and the kitchenette had all the utensils and plates/bowls we could need. I also really appreciated the filtered water spout so we could stay hydrated throughout the weekend. We'll definitely come back to stay here next time we are in SB!”
★★★★★
