The new Pavilion Hotel, formerly the Pavilion Lodge, will re-open its doors on May 14, 2010. Luxury and comfort will abound just 14 steps from the beach in this 71-room, 2-story hotel. The upscale design will take advantage of the huge garden courtyard area by creating a private lanai, or outdoor living area for most of the ground level rooms. These new rooms will feature large doors leading into the lanai making it the only hotel in Avalon where guests can relax in the comfort of their own private courtyard. The new hotel will also offer two luxury suites with splendid ocean views. Plans include other high-quality additions, such as an elegantly landscaped garden sitting area with fire pit and an open air ocean-view lounge area near the front lobby. There will also be an indoor lounge area / hospitality room with complimentary internet access for guests.
