Mt Ada Amenities

Experience the Best of Catalina Island

Mt Ada, the only Forbes Travel Guide 4-star luxury hotel on Catalina Island, offers incomparable views from its majestic perch high above Avalon Bay. Formerly the home of William Wrigley Jr. and his wife Ada, this one-of-a-kind island escape features six ensuite guest rooms on the upper level, each beautifully appointed to reflect the elegance and charm of a bygone era.

On the lower level, the comfortable living room and cozy den with bar and fireplace offer a relaxed ambiance reminiscent of a private residence. The spectacular wrap-around terrace is a great place to spot one of the island’s bald eagles. Transportation from the heliport, airport and ferry terminal is provided, and the hotel’s concierge is always available to secure dinner reservations or discounts for the many land activities and sea adventures that Catalina Island has to offer. Please note that transportation from Airport in the Sky needs to be arranged at least 72 hours in advance of your stay.
