Built in 1927, the Royal Hawaiian, the Pink Palace of the Pacific, ushered in a new era of luxurious resort travel to Hawaiʻi, in its own words. It keeps private beachfront cabanas on what it calls the most coveted spot on Waikīkī Beach, with views of Diamond Head, the Mai Tai Bar, the Surf Lanai and Azure restaurant, and the Abhasa spa.
