The resort first opened in 1955, and since has grown to become the largest in the Hilton chain of hotels, and one of largest hotels in the world. Today, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel sits on over 22 acres (8.9 ha) of beachfront property, near the Ala Moana Center. It features the largest swimming pool in Waikiki, over twenty-two restaurants, exotic wildlife, and botanical gardens, Duke's Lagoon and a branch of the Bishop Museum.
The various villages in the present-day Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa surround centerpiece towers: Diamond Head Tower, Ali'i Tower, Tapa Tower, Rainbow Tower, Lagoon Tower, Kalia Tower and Grand Waikikian. In 1968, the Rainbow Tower opened with what was considered the world's largest ceramic tile mosaic.
Hilton features two wedding chapels: the newly refurbished Akala Chapel and gazebo under the management of Watabe Wedding Corporation and the White Beach Chapel, operated by Karissma by Best Bridal Hawaii.
Animals that live on the grounds of the Hilton include several types of ducks, lesser flamingos, sacred ibis, black-crowned night herons, koi fish, chameleons, macaws, and parakeets.
