The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel is a large resort hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The hotel is located on the site of ʻĀinahau, the royal estate of Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani, heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. The estate was demolished in 1925 by the owners of the Moana Hotel, located across Kalakaua Avenue, for the construction of wood frame bungalows for the hotel.
The bungalows were demolished in 1953 and the Matson Line constructed the Princess Kaiulani Hotel on the site, which opened on June 11, 1955.[1] The 11-story building was the tallest in Hawaii at the time.
In 1959, Matson sold their hotels to Sheraton Hotels.[2] Sheraton added a second wing to the successful Princess Kaiulani Hotel in 1960, with 210 additional rooms.[3] The hotel was sold to in July 1963,[4] though Sheraton continued to operate it. Kyo-Ya added a third wing, the 29-story Ainahau Tower, in 1970. Later in the 1970s, they renamed the hotel the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani.
