#023 The Royal Hawaiian Hotel - The Pink Palace of the Pacific

The Pink Palace of the Pacific. The Royal Hawaiian might be the most important hotel in Waikiki's history and even Hawaii's history. It established the tone & image of what people think of Hawaii today. Matson Navigation Co. used the Royal Hawaiian as a marketing scheme to curate the image of laid back people, calm joyful music, palm trees swaying, crashing waves, lots of bright flowers and all around beautiful nature all combining it with the rich Hawaiian culture and history.
