Iolani Palace exterior

Overview

Marvel at the ornate architecture, see the sumptuous furnishings, and learn about this fascinating building and its former occupants.

Located in Honolulu's capitol district, this regal structure and National Historic Landmark was home to the Hawaiian Kingdom's two final monarchs, King Kalakaua, and his sister and successor, Queen Liliuokalani. Wander around the main rooms and halls, including the Grand Hall, the Throne Room, the State Dining Room, and the King and Queen’s private suites. You'll also see the Blue Room, which was used for small receptions, and displays a portrait of King Louis Philipe given to the Hawaiian palace as a gift from the French government. Enjoy a wonderful experience at the former Official Royal Palace of Hawaii!

Iolani Palace also houses a collection of furniture made by famous Boston furniture maker A.H. Davenport. Once you’ve explored the interiors, you can head to the palace grounds and see the ornate royal tomb and the Coronation Pavilion. This attraction is not to be missed for history fans.

Clear signage when we arrived. Photo spots were thoughtfully spaced along the route, — glad we prioritized it.

Straightforward redemption with our pass. Seating/rest spots helped older travelers in our group, would recommend budgeting a little buffer after for souvenirs.

A calm experience even on a crowded day. Highlights matched what was advertised, worth blocking a half-day for.

Great value versus buying tickets separately. Plenty of time to explore afterward, we’d echo the hype online.

More impressive in person than the photos. nothing felt confusing at the entrance. (Short walk from our hotel made it simple.)
