Description

More than a hotel, the Royal Hawaiian is a legend. It was opened in 1927 and became an instant hit with high society, the wealthy and the famous. From Shirley Temple to Joe DiMaggio, celebrities almost always stayed there. Matson Navigation built the hotel to accommodate its luxury cruise passengers and within a few short years, the Royal Hawaiian became the most celebrated landmark on Waikiki beach. With its unique blend of Moorish-Spanish design, soaring turrets and pink stucco, the hotel is considered the Grande Dame of Waikiki.

Renovated in 1997, the hotel contains a more modern wing and the Historic Wing, where there are 4 poster or canopy beds, a sense of the history of the hotel and those wonderful pink linens. They serve a Royal Tea every afternoon overlooking the picturesque Coconut Grove. Combining East & West, the tea is served as it had been over 75 years ago - a kimono-clad server presents a selection of finger sandwiches, scones, pastries and cookies along with a wonderful selection of teas.

The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is a lovely place, filled with history, a beautiful location and an ambience that is unforgettable.
