Hotel Atwater
Historic Hotel Re-Opens on Catalina Island - August 2019
2019 has been an exciting year for Catalina Island, as it celebrates the 100th anniversary of William Wrigley Jr.'s investment in the island, and this summer brings even more big news - the historic Hotel Atwater, in the heart of Avalon, will re-open in August after a highly anticipated top-to-bottom renovation, bringing a fresh new guest experience to the beautiful seaside town of Avalon.
Named in honor of Helen Atwater Wrigley, wife of Philip Knight Wrigley (William's son), Hotel Atwater originally opened in 1920, ushering in a new era for Catalina Island as a popular getaway for everyone from Hollywood's elite to mainlanders looking to escape their hectic lives.
While still holding on to its roots, the reimagined Hotel Atwater will offer modern amenities and an inviting ambiance inspired by the personal style of its namesake, Helen Atwater Wrigley. Located just a block from the beach, the hotel will feature a light and airy lobby that will provide comfortable seating areas where guests can gather for cocktails and friendly conversation, while suites will offer harbor or mountain views and an elevator, banquet and meeting facility will further enhance the guest experience.
