We have been talking about taking a short holiday to Catalina for years and finally decided to celebrate our birthdays. My husband picked the hotel and could not have done better. We lacked for nothing and the staff was more than willing to answer our questions about what to do and see and even told us about a little known... More

Loved our three day - 2 night vacation on Catalina Island. Best part was a marvelous hotel/art experience - the Avalon Hotel. Friendly and knowledgeable staff made for a perfect mini-vacation. Loved the design details, wonderful California Impressionist art and historic photos on display throughout the Avalon. Also highly recommended: Lunch at the Airport and hike the loop trail -... More

We enjoyed our stay for our 25th wedding anniversary at Catalina Island's Avalon Hotel! When we arrived at the island we took a taxi to the hotel, which was complimentary of the hotel.

From the first phone call where they staff answered our questions to working with us to book our boat reservations, they were always helpful. When... More

Our stay was perfect from the first moment when Cindy showed us to our room to the last second when we left feeling as if we were leaving family! The hotel is immaculate, the patio breakfast was beautiful! If you're looking for a big box hotel, this may not be for you. But if you're looking for a lovely, Craftsman... More

My wife and I were lucky enough to celebrate our 30th anniversary at the Avalon last week. Our staff was perfect. Even though it was off season the Hotel was perfect. accommodations were just right and the staff was warm and helpful. Hope to go back again. More

What a great place to stay. Very quaint, not a big box hotel feel. Beautiful garden patio with koi pond and firepit. Great breakfast included with the stay. Rooms are nice, tempurpedic beds, flatscreens. One side of the hotel has huge patios with the rooms. One of the best boutique hotels I have stayed in. More
