We've done a lot of traveling all over the world and have extremely sophisticated taste. The Hotel Avalon was superb. Thanks Juan! It's rooms were small and intimate which was perfect for our romantic anniversary. The staff was extremely helpful as they offered complimentary laptops, breakfast, GPS devices, shuttles (arrival/departure), DVD's, Museum tix and much more. A MUST if you... more

For our first time to Catalina it was hard to choose where to stay as soooo many hotels look good online. We were limited on time and had to choose one that offered all we wanted: luxury, views, services and a quiet retreat. Our choice was the due to the great service we received right from the start from Diana,... more

This is the only boutique hotel on the island. Its only got 8 rooms. Located 1/2 block up from the beach on a hill, every room in the front has an ocean view. And if you don't have one of those rooms, there's a rooftop deck where you can bring your own apps/wine/cocktails and just watch the scene. Its beautiful... more

I stayed at the Avalon Hotel a few weeks ago on business and was impressed. The property is just gorgeous and the rooms were luxurious with nice sheets and big, fluffy beds. Room size can vary quite a bit, depending on where in the hotel you stay. The premium rooms are on the first floor, especially towards the front of... more

Let's just say that I thoroughly research hotels and restaurants before making a choice--almost to my fiance's disgust. I read some great reviews on this hotel and while there are always some negative reviews I was also happy to see that they were rated #1 on trip advisor. Now we know why they are rated number one... That is not... more

My sister and I took our 61 year old mother to stay at the Avalon Hotel for her birthday. It was a hit! This is a beautiful hotel with a real bed and breakfast feel. Our room had a spectacular view of the beach front and the hotel itself is located a mere 2-3 short blocks from the main drag.... more

My girlfriend and I visited Catalina Island for the very first time this past weekend. The island was great and what was even greater was our stay at The Avalon Hotel. I had read reviews before deciding where we would stay and decided on The Avalon Hotel. The positive reviews I read could not have been more right. The staff... more

To start off with, Diana was a superior host. She is a gem herself. The property was recommended to us by a new friend of ours, Pat, and it was as gorgeous as he described. The patio below is gorgeous, and the rooftop patio is stunning with a panoramic view of the harbor. The rooms were elegantly finished and had... more

the mid-week special package is a terrific value for bed and breakfast alone but it's the staff that makes the experience so wonderful. I took my mom (who is a senior) to Catalina...it was her first visit and she loved it. We found the staff took a real interest in the quality of each guests experience. The room was spacious... more
