Every Stay Gives Back

Since September 2023, the Avalon Hotel, in partnership with Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back program, supports Marine Mammal Care Center (MMCC) on Catalina Island. The mission of MMCC is to inspire ocean conservation through marine animal rescue and rehabilitation, education and research. Through this program, The Avalon Hotel donates $1 per night of every guest stay to support MMCC. 100% of funds go to MMCC.
