Fodor's Expert Review Pavilion Hotel

This mid-century modern hotel is steps from the sand and water. The laid-back vibe offers a welcoming firepit and inviting sunny lawn with comfortable lounge chairs. Shabby chic guest rooms have vintage travel posters decorating the walls and crisp white linens set off by dark wood. Rooms on the lower level have their own semi-private patios. A $40 destination fee per room per night includes a $20 per day credit to Catalina Island Company restaurants; courtyard wine and cheese at sunset; use of beach towels; 15% off Catalina Island Company tours and activities; and luggage service to and from the ferry terminal.
