On March 11, 1901, the first beach front resort on Waikiki opened its doors. The Moana Hotel had 75 guest rooms, telephones and private baths, a billiard room, saloon, parlor, library and the first electric-powered elevator in the Territory. These were true innovations for its time. It was and is the only resort hotel in Hawaii that reflects the Beaux-arts design of the early 1900's.
Now re-branded by owner Westin Resorts, the Moana Surfrider is still an awesome hotel, even by todays standards.
