Hotels in Capitola

Contemplating holidaying in Capitola? Whether you're the sort to pull together a meticulous itinerary or totally wing it like a boss, there's a hotel here to suit your tastes. Suss out our 11 accommodation options within 5 kilometres of all the action. Time to stop dreaming and start travelling!

lastminute.com.au suggests kicking back at the Inn at Depot Hill and Chaminade Resort & Spa if you want to stay close to the main streets.

If you want to stay within 4 kilometres of the heart of town, have a look at Eastside Santa Cruz. It has 3 hotels to choose from, including the Ocean Echo Inn and Beach Cottages and the Harbor Inn.

How about visiting Main Beach? This leading tourist sight is near the Casablanca On The Beach and the Ocean Lodge. That said, if the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum is more your thang, the Dream Inn Santa Cruz and the West Cliff Inn - A Four Sisters Inn are what we reckon you should go with. Natural Bridges State Park is one more prominent Capitola attraction. To stay close by, find a bed at the Babbling Brook Inn, 3 kilometres away. The Mission Inn, 2 kilometres away, is also recommended.

Cabrillo College is a significant college and a fascinating tourist attraction as well. Location, location, location! Spend a night or two at the Rio Sands Hotel and Best Western Seacliff Inn and you'll be pretty much next door to it. Journey back into the past and unearth the lives of those who came before us at Capitola Historical Museum. If you need to hit the hay after you've been there, the closest hotels include the Quality Inn & Suites Capitola By the Sea and Monarch Cove Inn.

You might also like to try the Pacific Blue Inn, which is 6 kilometres away. Or perhaps the Hotel Los Gatos - A Greystone Hotel, just a distance of 25 kilometres from Capitola. We'd also recommend the Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection and the Hilton Santa Cruz - Scotts Valley. The first is 6 kilometres away from town, while the latter is 9 kilometres away.

Still haven't uncovered the perfect room? You might just find the thread count you've been searching for in Felton. You'll also be able to explore the Mystery Spot and the Pasatiempo Golf Course. If you want to spend a night or two in Felton, look into the Jayes Timberlane Resort and Fern River Resort. 30 kilometres to the northeast of Capitola you'll also find Morgan Hill, home to the Residence Inn San Jose South/Morgan Hill and Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites San Jose-Morgan Hill. The Creekview Vineyards and the Hill Country Golf and Country Club are up there with the most popular places to experience when visiting Morgan Hill.

Ever had to spend a night on the cold airport floor cos you got waayyy too excited and didn't book a hotel room? Save yourself a cricked neck and snap up a room at the Homewood Suites by Hilton San Jose Airport-Silicon Valley or the Staybridge Suites San Jose. Both aren't far from Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International Airport, which is only 45 kilometres from Capitola's centre.
