Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, Hilo - Authentic Aloha by the Bay
Lauded as Hilo's best full-service hotel, the newly upgraded Hilo Hawaiian Hotel offers a classic Big Island resort experience, retaining the authentic Hawaiian charm and aloha spirit that reflects the heart and soul of Hilo. This is a property where top-quality hospitality and a profound sense of Aloha are still front and center, offering guests a genuine connection to the island.
Location
Situated on historic Banyan Drive, the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel is the last hotel on the right before the tranquil Liliuokalani Gardens, placing guests on the oceanfront with immediate access to its pagodas, ponds, and botanicals. Just 5 km from Hilo town center, it provides a convenient gateway to exploring Hawaii's epic natural wonders, including Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and the majestic Mauna Kea. The hotel offers outstanding views of the Pacific Ocean, the lush Hamakua Coastline, and the imposing Mauna Kea, serving as its dramatic backdrop. Guests can also wander to Downtown Hilo, discovering antique stores, vegan eateries, coffee shops, and galleries tucked within centuries-old wooden buildings, all while enjoying ocean or quaint Hilo Town views framed by the mountain.
Style and Character
This classic hotel embraces its heritage, providing a sense of authentic Hawaiian charm and the welcoming spirit of Aloha. The architecture and design, while upgraded, remain rooted in a local aesthetic, creating an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply connected to its island surroundings. The open-air, covered breezeway adjacent to the Moku `ola Ballroom adds a touch of island grace, and the overall feeling is one of relaxed elegance, encouraging guests to feel the 'mana', the rejuvenating power of this amazing island.
Service and Facilities
The Hilo Hawaiian Hotel prides itself on top-quality hospitality and a genuine feeling of Aloha, ensuring guests have everything they need. While specific details on the breadth of services are limited, the hotel provides thoughtful amenities, including a gift shop and a freshwater pool. The Wai'oli Lounge offers a space for small bites and live music, and a unique, oceanfront space is available for cocktail service at private parties or receptions. The attractive open-air, covered breezeway also presents a pleasant area for relaxation or events.
Rooms
The Hilo Hawaiian Hotel offers spacious accommodations, particularly its corner suites designed for those who wish to live the 'luxe life Hilo-style'. These suites feature kitchenettes and private lanais that provide picturesque views of Coconut Island, Hilo Bay, and the majestic Mauna Kea. Standard rooms are also available, offering views of the Pacific Ocean or Hilo Town. Quadruple rooms provide air conditioning and private bathrooms with either a bath or a shower, configured with either one or two beds, ensuring comfort for various group sizes.
Food and Drink
Dining at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel centers around WSW Restaurant, Hilo's only steakhouse, open for breakfast and dinner. The menu features a wide selection of locally sourced produce and appetizers, Prime Grade or Premium Certified Black Angus steaks & chops, seafood, salads, sides, and desserts. Daily specials and weekly features include The Surf & Turf on Mondays and a Wagyu Grade Tomahawk on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, along with live Kona-Cold Whole Lobster. The Wai'oli Lounge is perfect for small bites and enjoys live music. Complementing the culinary offerings is an impressive list of exclusive fine wines and whiskies, including selections not found elsewhere in the state and whiskies from around the world.
Value for Money
As Hilo's best full-service hotel, the Hilo Hawaiian offers a comprehensive island experience with its prime location, authentic charm, and quality dining. The inclusion of locally sourced ingredients and premium cuts at WSW Restaurant, alongside exclusive wine and whisky lists, suggests a commitment to providing a high-caliber experience. While specific pricing is not detailed, the overall package of views, amenities, and genuine Aloha spirit points to a strong value for those seeking an authentic Big Island stay.
Accessibility
While detailed accessibility information is not provided, the general amenities suggest a standard offering. Specific room configurations for accessibility, such as adapted bathrooms or wider doorways, would require direct inquiry with the hotel.
Family-Friendly
The hotel's spacious accommodations, particularly the suites with kitchenettes, can be convenient for families. The proximity to Liliuokalani Gardens offers a pleasant outdoor space for exploration. However, specific family-focused amenities or services beyond standard room provisions are not detailed in the provided information.
“This oceanfront hotel is a gateway to Hilo's charm, placing guests on historic Banyan Drive near prime cultural sites. I think its steakhouse is a real draw, offering unique dining in the area. Families will find spacious suites and a fun pool, rounding out a stay that emphasizes Hawaiian hospitality.”
