Add it to Critiki! Humuhumu’s description:
This classic Hawaiian hotel with striking views of Diamond Head near the beach of Waikiki was built in 1957 by famed American industrialist Henry J. Kaiser, and was originally named Kaiser's Hawaiian Village. Kaiser also built a nearby geodesic dome auditorium, the Kaiser Aluminum Dome, where some Exotica classics were recorded. Martin Denny played regularly in the Shell Bar, and for a couple of years Arthur Lyman played here with him. Hilton later purchased the hotel, and still owns it today.

My memory is from 1980's. traveled to the Island on business and pleasure. At that time the food was traditional and tasty, rum and fruit drinks were plentiful, and the islands atmosphere prevailed, enhanced of course, by the Hawaiian climate and native vegetation. The hotel provided traditional "grass huts" for overnight visitors, apart from the high rise hotel rooms. Really felt Polynesian. I took some color slides - will try to dig them out and post here.
