Former home of American author Zane Grey

Perched on a cactus covered hillside overlooking the world-famous Casino building, the Zane Grey Pueblo Hotel in Catalina Island offers some of the most spectacular views of Avalon Bay, the town of Avalon, and the surrounding mountains.

The sprawling Hopi Indian-style pueblo is the former home of American novelist Zane Grey (1872-1939), who wrote more than 100 books in his lifetime. While the author is best known for his Westerns, he also wrote baseball stories and was an avid fisherman, and wrote many books on the subject of sport fishing.

The Pueblo Catalina Island Hotel offers ocean view and mountain view rooms as well as sunning decks and balconies where guests can take in all the views. The Pueblo Hotel also features an arrowhead shaped fresh water swimming pool surrounded by graceful gardens.

Guests may also enjoy the comforts of the original living room with a grand piano, fireplace and television.The Pueblo, built in 1926 by Grey, was an ideal location for his literary labors. His sentiments about Catalina Island California are reflected in What the Open Means to Me. . . “I used to climb the mountain trail that overlooked the Pacific and here a thousand times I shut my eyes and gave myself over to sensorial perceptions. . .It is an environment that means enchantment to me. Sea and mountain! Breeze and roar of surf! Music of birds! Solitude and tranquility! A place for rest, dream, peace, sleep. I could write here and be at peace. .”

The Pueblo’s character is still evocative of the author’s perceptions. The décor, ambiance, decks, balconies and lush gardens lend itself to a peaceful and quiet escape from the hustle and bustle of downtown Avalon.

You too can enjoy Catalina Island as Zane Grey had.
