Historic Landmark Redfined
Holds ceremonies and receptions
Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel is a Catalina Island historic landmark transformed into a boutique wedding venue in Avalon, CA. Set on the hilltops of Avalon and overlooking the bay, this gorgeous wedding hotel is sure to be the ideal location for your special day.
Built in 1926 by famous author of Western novels, Zane Grey, as his private retreat, the hotel was renovated in 2019 and has been providing the best of modernity in a historic space. There are ten suites, six rooms, and a three-bedroom penthouse in the hotel; twelve of which offer ocean views, while the remaining display the mesmerizing hills of Catalina Island. Should you desire it, booking out all 16 rooms means you can enjoy your wedding day in complete privacy.
During your stay, you’ll be able to avail yourself of the rooftop, where you can take in a panoramic ocean and city view. You can relax poolside where, furnished with fire-pit tables, cabanas, and chaises, the perfect cocktail hour can be created. Catering for your reception is partnered with Catalina Island Event Co., a local business passionate about sourcing organic, seasonal ingredients. The meal itself can be a plated dinner, buffet, or stations, as you prefer, while bartenders take care of your drinks with house liquor. Event rentals can be made available to ensure that everything you desire can be a part of this special occasion. Details including chairs, tables, glassware, lighting, and audio equipment can be taken care of by the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel staff. With a shuttle option to help you arrive in comfort, and a leisurely post-wedding breakfast, it may be difficult to leave this incredible wedding venue.

Took a few weeks after I filled out my inquiry form to hear back from someone. Unfortunately they don’t want to do business because I was emailing with someone and she didn’t like ...
my questions apparently. I asked her how much was the min. F&B fee and if someone could walk me through virtually (since I don’t live in CA anymore) and was seriously interested to book with them. She responded “look at our website.” Unprofessional and rude responses so I would definitely look elsewhere for your big day! 💪🏻
Response from Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel on 07/21/2022
I am so sorry, Gina. I sincerely apologize about your experience with the inquiry process....
We have been dealing with short staff as many small business are lately but it does not excuse the uninviting response. We will address this in our employee training and continue to improve our service. I can sent you all of the pricing information and set up a virtual walkthrough if you would like to give us another chance.
