Renovations complete at the Royal Hawaiian hotel

source:  Honolulu Advertiser

The historic  Royal Hawaiian hotel has been closed for 7 months and under going an $85 million upgrade.  The hotel was built in 1927 and stands out along the beach with its beautiful Spanish architecture all decked out in pink.

The changes are part of owner Kyo-Ya’s estimated $750 million renovation of the Pink Palace, the neighboring Sheraton Waikiki Hotel and the nearby Moana Surfrider and Princess Kaiulani hotels.

The Royal has welcomed about 50 guests since Dec. 31 to ease it through a “soft opening” while doing finishing touches.

The next official opening date is Jan. 20 for a ball to celebrate the presidential inauguration of Hawai’i-born Barack Obama.

That will be followed by the “grand opening” on March 7, when the hotel opens all rooms.
