The Sanctuary
The Sanctuary in Crosby, a former 1950s
Lutheran Church transformed by owners Edgar
and Stephanie Morales into an eight-room
boutique hotel, seamlessly blends architec
tural preservation with modern comfort. The
building’s original charm is preserved through
exposed wood rafters, gothic windows and salvaged stained glass, capturing natural light. The Gathering Room, with 30-foot ceilings, a 42” fireplace and hardwood floors, serves
as the heart of the hotel, complemented by
a mezzanine with window seating, a kitchen
ette/bar, and a family-style dining table. The
eight individually designed en-suite rooms
feature large windows, offering a unique and inviting experience for guests in this distinctive
and meticulously curated establishment.
