SC Rio Vista Mansion/Boutique Hotel 01-08-14 19:00 av

A 124-year old Victorian mansion is being transformed into a new luxury hotel on Santa Cruz’s Beach Hill.   Hotelier Dilip Patel bought the Rio Vista Mansion in November of 2012 and is now turning the home at 611 Third Street into a 12-room boutique hotel.  A stained glass artist is repairing each of the mansion’s eight stained glass windows.   Patel says he’s working to restore the mansion to it’s former glory, and is also working with the city’s historic preservation commission to make that happen.  Patel hopes to have the restored mansion done by the end of April, with plans to open in time for the summer tourist season.
