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.
The ZenStay Standard
Rarely seen,
always felt.
Seamless self-check-in and on-demand customer service from real people, not bots.
Seamless self check-in
Skip the line. Your room, your phone, your schedule.
On-demand guest support
Real people, not bots. Our team is on 24/7, by phone or text.
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.
★★★★★
“Great stay and service! Beautiful location”
★★★★★
“The location of Casa Iglesia is absolutely ideal if you are seeking a central location in Santa Barbara. The walk through beautiful neighborhoods to The Mission and rose garden is lovely. We also walked into downtown and made it to the beach. This property is out of the busy area but close enough to get there quickly and efficiently. We also highly recommend eating at Bistro Amasa. It is located a couple of blocks away and the food and staff are spectacular. There is ample parking and it was so nice to be able to charge our Tesla during our stay at Casa Iglesia. The accommodations are sleek and clean with high quality fixtures.”
