This Is The Most Unique Hotel In Hawaii And You’ll Definitely Want To Visit

The Hawaiian Islands welcome approximately 8 million tourists annually, so there are obviously countless lodging options available to anyone visiting the islands for the first time, or even those taking a vacation from a neighboring island. From rustic cabins and idyllic cottages to bed and breakfasts and luxury resorts, the lodging options are plenty – except for on the island of Lanai. You see, there are only three major hotels on this tiny island: two luxury four-season resorts, and a tiny plantation hotel built in the 1920s. This is the Hotel Lanai, and it is easily one of the most unique hotels in Hawaii.

Dubbed "Hawaii’s best little inn," the Hotel Lanai is unbelievably quaint with just 11 rooms, an innovative restaurant - the Lanai City Grille - and plenty of charm.

Located in Lanai City and since renovated, the Hotel Lanai was built in 1923 by James Dole in order to accommodate visiting pineapple plantation executives and important guests.

Nestled among Norfolk pines at 1,700 feet in elevation in the heart of Lanai City, Hotel Lanai is a true historic gem.

With a warm, inviting atmosphere, an upcountry plantation style, comfortable accommodations, you’re sure to feel at peace at the Hotel Lanai.
