When Kamehameha the Great rose from Conqueror to king, he chose to rule from a place close to his heart - a sheltered white sand cove on the Kona coast
Built in the heart of picturesque Kailua-Kona town, King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel takes its name from the most prominent of Hawaii’s monarchs, King Kamehameha the Great, who united the Hawaiian Islands in 1810 and who established his residence and administrative capital on the grounds of this hotel. The quiet sheltered bay, balmy trade winds and endless days of brilliant sunshine also made the site of the hotel a favorite vacation spot for Hawaiian royalty. Images and artifacts celebrating its historically significant location can be found throughout the hotel, and are included in a daily, guided historical tour. On the surrounding grounds stands King Kamehameha’s restored Hawaiian temple, Ahu’ena Heiau, a stunning foreground for the compelling seascape that the hotel’s seaside location provides. On Kamakahonu Bay, the 460-room King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel fronts the only white sandy beach in Kona. The full-service landmark hotel is home to the world-famous annual Ironman Triathlon, and features two restaurants, swimming pool with a whirlpool spa and sauna, comprehensive meeting and banquet facilities, a Hawaiian activity center, beauty salon and the only air-conditioned shopping mall in Kona. Each room features a private balcony with mountain, garden, partial ocean or oceanfront views and contains compact refrigerator, safe, voice mail and data port telephone, clock radio, color cable television with pay-per-view movies, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, coffee maker, full bathroom and air conditioning. Non-smoking, connecting and ADA compliant rooms are available upon request. There is ample parking, pool and whirlpool spa, saunas, more than 5,200 square feet of flexible meeting space, business center, room service, valet laundry and dry cleaning, self-service washer/dryer and two restaurants – Kona Beach Restaurant and Billfish Bar. King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel is also home to the best lu’au (Hawaiian feast) on the island. The lu’au is held every Sunday and Tuesday through Thursday and includes songs and dances of ancient and modern Hawaii. |  |
