The Hotel Metropole offers guests proximity to the adventure of Catalina in the midst of relaxed, pampered seclusion.

The original Hotel Metropole, built in 1888 by one of Catalina's early landowners, was Avalon's jewel-in-the-crown. Visitors from far and wide flocked to enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and sophisticated accommodations offered by this island landmark. Now, the tradition continues on the site of the original hotel with the modern and elegant Hotel Metropole of today. Built in 1989 and remodeled again in 2002, the Hotel Metropole offers every possible luxury while maintaining the aura of historical charm. Open in the summer of 2007, the Hotel Metropole continues its legacy of excellence with 4 newly constructed ocean front designer suites.

Guests can select from one of 52 tranquil rooms and suites, or rent the spacious two-bedroom, two-bath Beach House, featuring a full kitchen, Jacuzzi bath, Frette linens, two private sun decks, TV, DVD and CD player, and even a private library. Guests can luxuriate at the Touch of Heaven Day Spa, where they can indulge in services ranging from classic facials and massages to ancient healing techniques such as ear candling. Mud wraps, Reiki sessions, hot stones and essential oils are all available for total indulgence. Afterwards, guests can relax in the rooftop Jacuzzi or loll in the gentle waves on the beach.

The Hotel Metropole provides leisure travelers with world-class personalized service with exclusive, opulent surroundings and dreamy seaside ambience.

Continental breakfast is served at the hotel until mid-morning. For lunch and dinner, the Channel House Restaurant awaits, famed for its Caesar salad, sand dabs and flaming desserts. The day can be filled with anything from relaxed shopping or a tour of the historic architecture to kayaking excursions and whale watches. Just steps away from the hotel, guests can shop the Metropole Market Place, an open air mall with a variety of mainstream stores and niche boutiques, or head over to The Casino for an impressive art-deco movie going experience. Those seeking a more scenic experience can explore the nearby Wrigley Memorial Botanical Gardens or take a short stroll to The Mole to watch vessels disembark.
