The Avalon Hotel in Catalina Island, hotel in Avalon

Located in Avalon, 30 mi from Long Beach, The Avalon Hotel features a rooftop with breathtaking, 360-degree views of Avalon and its harbor. Lounge chairs and tables are provided for guest convenience....

I loved the fact that we had the most amazing view from our balcony. Upon arrival, the staff was incredible and super helpful - we were offered all types of guidance about where to go, when to have breakfast and any additional requests we had. It felt like staying in a unique boutique Inn which had the same amenities as a 5 star luxury hotel. The bathroom was so quaint, and the bed super soft and comfortable. We stayed on the 3rd floor so didn't hear much noise at night, and the staff was super accommodating and we LOVED that everything was in walking distance and close proximity. Definitely a place to stay if visiting Catalina :)

    Very quaint small town with cute shops, restaurants, great views, and plenty to explore. Can be done on a budget, but the touristy activities will drain your wallet. Quiet town, but noisy and crowded when cruise ships pull up so plan accordingly.

    Beautiful place to visit with lots of shops, restaurants, excursions and beaches. Be sure to book excursions in advance of your stay because the cruise ships stop here so most of the excursions get sold out in advance.

    I loved the calm relaxing vibe.

    I loved the calm relaxing vibe. It felt like a quaint sea side village from the past. Everything was very clean and the walking on the beach frontage or the walk to the casino were very pleasant for us seniors. I also saw young families with small children which appeared to be ideal for that phase of family life because the beach is so close. I hadn't been to Avalon for over 20 years and was extremely happy with the way it has evolved and the pleasant atmosphere. Enjoyed it very much, but if I come back with my young adult grand daughters, they would probably want to do more of the activities which are available.

    Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving.

    Our observation of Avilon is that is evolving. There are more small cars. The businesses seem to be sustainable and pretty much thriving, and all is a positive experience. Catalina is a mere 27-30 miles from where we live in So CA, but it could be HI, South of France or Southern Italy. I think, just go there with the intent of slowing down and enjoying slower time and removing yourself from the balance of hectic life elsewhere. It is a good place to relax.

    We visited at start of January (still school holidays) and found reduced restaurant and shop options. Restaurants tended to close early. Easy 1hour comfortable ferry crossing to island with Catalina Express from Long Beach. Saw dolphins en route. Just few minutes walk to main town, shops, restaurants and many hotels from ferry terminal. Plenty of walks, but hilly. Fabulous views & plants/wildlife. Mostly golf carts or bikes and limited cars/local mini bus to get around. Easy access to public restrooms around Avalon. Would visit spring onwards for future visit.

    Avalon can be magical to visit for a couple of days. Lots of activities, food options, and shopping. It's charming and beautiful. The M restaurant is one of my favorites, with good breakfast and lunch options. At dinner, it's a good Italian restaurant.

    The room was a lot more cheerful than the pictures made me think, nice windows, well appointed room that was slightly bigger than I thought from pictures. Bed was comfy. Soaking tub was also very nice. Great proximity to everything in Catalina. Lots of restaurants right around the corner. I loved how friendly and down to earth the people working and visiting were, nice vibe in Avalon. There is a Von's grocery store not far from hotel. Roof top area was nice also.

    The Bellanca hotel was so overpriced for the room you get. It was more like a dirty beach motel than a hotel. Our room was extremely small, smelled musty, and the shower flooded the entire bathroom every time we used it. Our bathroom sink was clogged as well. We went to Catalina for a friend’s wedding and were just highly disappointed in this hotel, especially for it being almost $800 for 3 nights, just not worth it in my opinion.

    A shuttle picked us up at the ferry and drove us up the steep hill to the hotel. The same shuttle was available throughout our stay to take us to and from town. The room had a fabulous view looking down on Catalina Harbor and a lovely terrace. The beds were comfortable and had high quality linens. The bathroom was very large and exceptionally nice with an enclosed shower stall separate from the bathtub.

    Staff is amazing. Location is second to none. Room was clean, comfortable and quiet. This is an amazing hotel with everything at your fingertips and walking distance. Continental breakfast needs to be upgraded a tad bit, but that is not a show stopper. We will be staying here again. 1st class facility, 1st class staff, 100% satisfaction!!!!

    The front desk staff, specifically Ayala, were amazing! From the time we arrived until the time we departed, they were extremely accommodating and made great recommendations on places to eat and things to do. The hotel is the most aesthetically pleasing on the island in my opinion. And the bedding was very comfortable.

    The hotel is very well furnished and conveniently located. The "resort fee" is expensive, but did include $20 credit per day at some very nice restaurants. We went to Descanso Beach Club and Avalon Grill and enjoyed both. The standard queen room is tiny, but actually furnished to make the best use of space.
