The Royal Hawaiian was built in 1927 and known as the Pink Palace of the Pacific. The luscious hotel can be found on the beachfront of Waikiki and was completely remodelled during six months of closure time from 2008 to 2009. The hotel is only nine miles from the airport and provides their guests with magnificent views of the Pacific Ocean, Waikiki beach and Diamond Head. The newly remodelled décor is modern, luxurious and comfortable. There is also easy access to all of the wonderful adventures awaiting those anxious to view the historical sites of the island or do some shopping in a few of the wonderful shops around town.
