The Hawaiian Islands welcome more than eight million tourists each year and are home to countless incredible lodging options — including luxury resorts, sleek hotels, affordable vacation rentals, and amazing bed and breakfasts. With so many choices, it can be difficult to decide where to stay. But if you’re looking for history, Old Hawaiian charm, and picture-perfect accommodations, we know just the place.
Once considered Kamehameha the Great’s historically famous “royal playground,” the charming seaside town of Lahaina is full of old-world architecture from the town’s plantation era, including the stunning Pioneer Inn.
Nestled within the Lahaina Historic District, a National Historic Landmark since 1962 which houses such sites as the Baldwin House, the old courthouse, a former prison, and two churches, the Pioneer Inn dates back to 1901.
