Compassion Flower Inn

The Compassion Flower Inn is located in vibrant and eclectic downtown Santa Cruz at the heart of the entertainment, restaurant, and retail district, only a short walk to beaches, wharf, and boardwalk. Guests love the convenience of leaving their car in our secured parking lot and walking everywhere.The inn is a lovely restored 1860's Gothic Revival Victorian with four intimate bedrooms. The friendly owners, Andrea Tischler and Maria Mallek, took three years to restore and decorate the home. Maria, an artist who beautifully transforms whatever she touches, has delicately painted each room. Our guests are treated to a visual fantasy of faux finishes, unique stencils, mosaic art, and beautiful period furnishings. Upstairs there are four unique bedrooms, including the intimate Lovers' Suite with its sunken tub surrounded by a mosiac motiff, the Blue Room, the Passion Flower Room, and the Hemp room with its relaxing hemp leaf dcor. Guests can relax in our comfortable sitting or dining r
