Visitors who use wheelchairs should request a room at Hotel Metropole (800/300-8528 or 310/510-1884; www.hotel-metropole.com). One of the most modern properties in Avalon, it has an elevator, a large sun deck that overlooks Avalon Bay, a shopping complex, and a very convenient location in the heart of Avalon. Pavilion Hotel (877/778-8322) also has ground-floor rooms that have been specifically renovated to be accessible. (In fact, one of the ADA-compliant rooms was fashioned out of the room Natalie Wood slept in the night before she died.) Also, the electric buses of Avalon Transit (310/510-0081; www.avalontransit.org) offer free paratransit for people who can't take the standard public bus.
