Fodor's Expert Review Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel

199 Chimes Tower Rd., Avalon, California, 90704, USA Fodor's Choice

Best-selling Western novelist Zane Grey built his home as a retreat to take in the views of Avalon while writing more than 100 books; his home was turned into this quaint boutique hotel with suites named after Zane Grey book titles. Every room has either an Avalon Bay, city, or canyon view. it's also worth noting that this is the only ocean view hotel with a swimming pool---a heated pool, at that. Located near the Avalon bell tower, guests hear the bells ring throughout the day. The staff prepare a complimentary breakfast daily and are happy to pick up guests at the boat terminal and take guests into town in the Zane Grey golf cart.
