Lead Host

The Santa Cruz Co. is focused on the design, development and operation of hospitality brands that, at their core, are about bringing people together. For us, great hospitality is about quality, elegance, style and fun. We exude a sense of joy in hosting, setting the stage for our guests to have exceptional experiences. Founded by restaurateur and designer, Juan Santa Cruz, our origins are in the vibrancy, boldness and spirit of Latin culture. Like our guests, we have a global view, and with our teams and collaborators we give room for a broad and creative interpretation of our essence at all our properties internationally.
Casa Cruz New York is located in a six-story beaux arts townhouse on 61st Street, between Park and Madison Avenue. We believe it is the perfect location to attract both the business crowd during the day as well as being a fun neighborhood spot in the evening. Designed by Juan Santa Cruz, it’s the perfect place for eating, drinking, socializing and have fun under one roof. Casa Cruz New York, with the highest level of personalized service and engaging atmosphere is set to be hottest opening in New York City this fall. The ground, second and third floors will operate as a normal restaurant open to the public with priority to the partners, while the drawing room on the fourth floor, the private dining rooms on the fifth floor, and the rooftop terrace will be for exclusive use of our partners and their friends and families. Casa Cruz New York has 220 seats across the five floors and will be open from 12pm-1am for lunch, dinner and after dinner drinks.
