1. Location

   If you want a nice quiet hotel with real Hawaiian charm, this is the place for you. Hilo Hawaiian is located only minutes away from Hilo's historic Main Street with it's quaint storefronts and museums. Surrounded by fragrant plumeria and lush tropical plants, it makes you think of the Hawaii of yesteryear.

   The hotel building and its grounds will make you feel very relaxed. Open-air lobby leads you to a patch of thatchy thick grass and a path to the Coconut Island, a quaint and cozy place to read a book or just day-dream.

   Liliuokalani Park next door to the hotel is a great area for the kids (and adults) to play and jump off some 10-15 ft. pillars into the bay. The hotel is also within walking distance to the Japanese Tea Garden and the magnificent Banyan trees planted by famous people over 70 years ago.
