I can see why this charming boutique hotel is #1 on Trip Advisor. We stayed for two nights prior to the Memorial Day weekend, and this place provided a real retreat to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area. The Craftsman decor really brings an earthy vibe to the place. Look at their photo album and you can see... More

The hotel staff is wonderful the location is excellent! This is one of the nicest hotels on Catalina especially for the price! The road it's on Whittley has a lot of golf cart traffic so the rooms off the road can be noisy of your windows and balcony door is open. But really who cares! The place is awesome More

We had a great time. Laurie and the hotel staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. The rooms are very nice and beautifully kept. More

My husband, a SoCal native, had never visited Catalina Island so for his Birthday I booked two nights at the Avalon Hotel. What a wonderful choice that was. The staff there is the most welcoming and accomodating of any hotel we have ever stayed in. We cannot say enough about the rooms. Ellegant comes close. And it had all the... More

My husband and I haven't been to Catalina in about 10 years so we were due for a visit. I checked trip advisor and discovered that The Avalon Hotel was number one. After reading all the reviews and calling for a reservation we decided on room 205. Although 205 didn't have a balcony it was less expensive, a slightly larger... More

We spent three relaxing, comfortable nights here and we hated to leave! Our room was large and comfortable with view of the ocean. A great continental breakfast served in a beautiful garden courtyard complete with a koi pond, fire pit, and active hummingbird feeders. Terrific desk staff too, especially Cindy. Very convenient location to harbor. Loved the tangerine sage lotions... More

My parents and I adored every detail at The Avalon: the attentive, personable service, the gorgeous Craftsman design, the breathtaking rooftop view (perfect for drinking wine), the delicious tangerine sage body products, the original artwork and the delightful, yummy, fireside complimentary breakfast. We stumbled upon our room at the Avalon through a serendipitous extra night in Catalina due to no... More
