Hotel Metropole is a pretty boutique property with an intimate atmosphere, located in the heart of Avalon and close to the waterfront. The three-and-a-half-pearl hotel's 52 guest rooms have contemporary decor with homey touches, and all come with large flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, bathrobes, and slippers, but mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and safes are missing. Some upgraded units have whirlpool tubs, balconies, and fireplaces. The rooftop sundeck, with terrific Avalon Bay views and a small whirlpool, is a highlight feature, and the hotel wraps around Metropole Market Place, which has restaurants, boutiques, and a spa. Freebies include breakfast, an afternoon wine and cheese reception, and Wi-Fi throughout. Travelers looking for a stay with similar decor but want to spend less can consider the Seacrest Inn, but it isn't as central or as close to the water.

Aurora Hotel is a stylish 18-room B&B located a short walk from Avalon’s main drag. Rooms are small (with even smaller bathrooms), but have stylish contemporary decor, and wonderful amenities -- including Tempurpedic mattresses, flat-screen TVs, DVD players, microwaves, mini-fridges, and Keurig coffeemakers. There is a chic rooftop deck with great ocean views, and a massage room offering an extensive treatments menu -- but no full restaurant or pool. Prices are a little steep for such a limited range of on-site features, but freebies such as a weekly wine and cheese hour, Wi-Fi, and continental breakfast add value.
