The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is the second oldest Hotel in Waikiki. It is truly one of a kind. Its architecture and location are amazing and beautiful. Locals call the hotel “The Pink Lady”. The hotel was built in 1927. The first hotel in Hawaii was the Moana Surfrider Hotel, which is almost right next door.
