Avalon Hotel becomes Santa Claus for mainland shoppers

   Thousands of Southern California residents have discovered a way to avoid the Christmas shopping madness. Just 26 miles across the sea, Avalon's quaint shops, stunning scenery and small town holiday spirit provide an antidote to the mayhem of over-packed malls, nonexistent parking places and crowded freeways that are the mainland during the Christmas season.

    An array of holiday events awaits Catalina Island visitors in December. Strolling carolers, winter concerts and a tour of lights are just of few of the holiday activities offered. Shop in Avalon, a weekend-long event of discounts and holiday cheer, takes place during December's first weekend.

   Catalina Island's newest boutique hotel, The Avalon, is playing Santa for guests who want to enjoy Avalon's many holiday charms. All room rates throughout December will be discounted an additional 20 percent.

   Featuring classic Craftsman-style, hand-carved woods and an aura of understated elegance, The Avalon is quickly becoming Catalina Island's premier hotel. Breath-taking ocean views, local art work and a warm atmosphere compliment supple-pedic mattresses, flat-screen televisions and luxurious bedding to create the ultimate in island accommodations.
