Welcome to
Hotel Atwater

Experience the historic legacy in Avalon on Catalina Island

Step back in time to 1920 when Hotel Atwater welcomed its first guests to a destination crafted by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley, Jr., to honor his son's wife, Helen Atwater Wrigley.  

Beautifully renovated a century later, this Catalina Island gem lovingly honors its Wrigley legacy. Each room is appointed with two splits of sparkling wine, reminiscent of Helen's love of a nightly glass of bubbly before bed. The lobby exudes an island vibe, a modern take on Helen's timeless elegance. With wooden accents, vibrant hues, and oceanic touches, guestrooms offer an "Island Deco" haven.  

Upon arrival at the ferry terminal, enjoy luggage service. At the hotel, the concierge stands ready to recommend and arrange Catalina's seemingly limitless land and sea escapades. Come, and immerse yourself in Catalina's rich heritage and charm at Hotel Atwater.
