Hilton Hawaiian Village
Honolulu, Hawaii, United States · Hilton Hotels & Resorts · Near Luxury
Henry J. Kaiser and Fritz B. Burns opened the Hawaiian Village on 15 September 1955 on Kalia land that was once Duke Kahanamoku's childhood neighbourhood and ancient fishponds. Conrad Hilton bought half the resort in 1961, renaming it Hilton Hawaiian Village; at more than 22 beachfront acres it grew into Hilton's largest hotel and the largest in the U.S. outside Las Vegas. The 1968 Rainbow Tower carries a ceramic rainbow mosaic about 26 feet wide and 286 feet tall, and Elvis filmed Blue Hawaii here before the 1973 Aloha From Hawaii satellite concert staged from the property.
