Historic full-service 460 room beachfront resort on scenic bay. 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.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 458-room King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel fronts the only white sandy beach in Kona.
