William Wrigley, Jr. bought 99% of Catalina Island in 1919. He chose the setting for his new home on Mt. Ada (named after his wife, Ada) because it received first sunlight in the morning and the last rays at sunset. The Inn is 350 feet above the town and harbor. The building of the Wrigley's home was started in 1920 and completed in 1921. The couple enjoyed their home together through January 1932, when Mr. Wrigley died. Mrs. Wrigley continued to visit until 1947, when she suffered a stroke and lingered in a coma in Pasadena for 11 years. She died in 1958. From 1921 to 1932, the Wrigley's entertained a number of famous guests at their island home, including Presidents Calvin Coolidge, Warren Harding, and the Prince of Wales.
Official Hotel Information
55 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure
This was the B&B we have ever stayed in! They pick you up at the harbor or heliport and bring you back to the B&B. They have an open kitchen (wine, champagne, beer, soda, water, ice cream, and more). They also have a Happy Hour every night (snacks and everything else). Breakfast and lunch are always included.
This is the old Wrigley mansion, up on the hill overlooking the city of Avalon. They have unbeatable views, and the best staff in the world. We will be back again, and again.
