Welcome to the Aurora Hotel
Sleek. Modern. Cool.
Aurora Hotel is Avalon's boutique hotel on Catalina Island — a sleek, modern retreat
perched above the harbor with sweeping Pacific views, complimentary breakfast, and a rooftop deck
made for slow mornings and golden evenings. Located at 137 Marilla Avenue in Avalon, California,
Aurora is a five-minute walk from the ferry terminal and a world away from ordinary.
Sweeping views
Aurora's ocean-view rooftop deck is one of Avalon's most coveted perches. Watch the ferries cross the channel. Follow the pelicans. Let the sun drop behind you while the harbor lights up below. It's the kind of view that recalibrates everything — and it's yours every morning and every evening of your stay.

Partial ocean view rooms and standard rooms round out the collection, each finished with custom furnishings, original artwork, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
Whatever you choose, the rooftop, the breakfast, and the harbor are always included.

Your Aurora Experience
This is not your standard Catalina Island lodging. Aurora is a boutique hotel that combines the warmth of a bed and breakfast with the design sensibility of a metropolitan inn — ocean breezes, curated interiors, and the kind of unhurried hospitality that makes you want to stay one more night.
Wake up to a complimentary breakfast buffet featuring eggs, baked goods, and locally roasted coffee from Catalina Coffee & Cookie Co. On Saturday mornings, add a mimosa. On Friday evenings, join fellow guests for our complimentary wine and cheese reception — the best way to begin a Catalina weekend.
Then take your glass to the rooftop.
