Hotel Mac Rae
A historical family-owned inn on Catalina Island.
Owned by the Mac Rae family since the Roaring Twenties, this quaint, Spanish-style, stucco storefront hotel is a local institution. Guests on a budget will appreciate such distinctive offerings as the relaxing, open-air courtyard and original 1920s details. Twenty-four Mediterranean-style guest rooms are located on three floors and offer views of the beach and harbor (it's hard to find rooms in this town that don't), but they lack the abundance of modern amenities that the island's larger and newer hotels offer. On the plus side: complimentary movies (on video) and beach towels for sun-drenched days. A pleasant concierge service is available for planning wildlife excursions, kayaking trips and nights on the town. Fans of modest historical hotels will love this island gem.
