Unlike any other Santa Catalina Island hotel

When you're not relaxing in your guest room or exploring Santa Catalina Island, spend time unwinding on our rooftop patio which yields panoramic views of Avalon and the harbor. It's the perfect place to sip a cup of coffee or to share a romantic nightcap underneath a starry sky. You'll also love our garden patio, which offers comfortable seating, a fire pit, and an eye-catching fountain with friendly koi.

Words from our guests...

  • Cynthia L (TripAdvisor)
    The atmosphere was so beautiful and relaxing. Breakfast was complimentary in the patio, and was so quiet, and peaceful. There was a fountain in the center and the flow of water with the quiet surroundings was so relaxing. The bed was extremely comfortable, the room very cozy.
  • AHA (TripAdvisor)
    Small boutique hotel about a block away from the Main Street in Avalon. Very well maintained property with a very friendly staff. Nice courtyard with tables for continental breakfast in the morning. A rooftop with great views at night...The place was spotless clean and the housekeeping was excellent as well.
