The Hawaiian Inn opened circa July of 1965.

This Polynesian-themed resort complex is right on the Atlantic Ocean; most of its 208 spacious hotel rooms have private balconies overlooking the ocean. The hotel has a number of amenities, including a large outdoor pool, an indoor pool, shuffleboard, and a beachside 9-hole putt-putt course, and most of the rooms include small kitchenettes. There is also the poolside Ohana Tiki Bar and Grill.

The hotel has seen better days. There is no remnant of its Polynesian history in the rooms, which appear to have undergone remodels at some point in the 80s -- all of the rooms used to have Witco headboards, which can now be seen as wall hangings throughout the hotel. Outside of the rooms, there are some nice touches, including bamboo-encased garbage cans and Witco furniture.

Check for scheduling, but the resort regularly hosts a Hawaiian Luau Dinner Show.

Just up the street from Hawaiian Inn, you'll find Aku Tiki Inn and Traders Restaurant.

Since about 2012, this location at 689 Cochituate Road has been home to Speen Family Dental.

Opened in 2002.

This location closed within a year of opening and this location became Mary'z Mediterranean Cuisine in 2005. Mary'z is still there as of 2026.

The Hawaiian Hot Luau was a Polynesian dance show and luau held seasonally from 1991 to at least 2009 at the Imperial Palace (1979-2012). The Imperial Palace started off as the Flamingo Capri (1959-1979). The location later became the Quad Resort and Casino (2012-2014) and then The Linq (2014-Present).

Originally, this location was named Lo Curto's Gardens in 1933.

It was renamed Lo Curto's Hawaiian Gardens in 1938 and remained so until 1966, so it spanned both the pre-Tiki and Golden Tiki Eras.

The last incarnation was Italian Gardens, a banquet hall specializing in weddings and Lockheed Christmas parties.

Today it is Italian Gardens Family and Italian Gardens Senior, two government housing projects.

The Hawaiian Village in Florida opened in 1961. It was incorporated in 1967-1987.

It was a massive Polynesian-themed complex featuring not only 246 air-conditioned rooms and a swimming pool, but dining rooms and supper clubs, live shows, a cocktail Tiki lounge and even a golf putting green and coffee shop.

It had a great neon sign and a flaming moai out front as well.

There are also a wealth of collectibles from this location, including mugs, menus, swizzles, etc...

In 1971, the complex was sold to Red Carpet Inns (photo below shows a Red Carpet Inns sign that appears cut and pasted onto an earlier night time photo) and then it was later sold to Days Inn.

This location is now a Westshore Honda dealership.

The Hawaiian Cottage restaurant was opened by Michael and Mary Egidi-Pietrafesa in 1938, so started as a pre-tiki establishment that transitioned into the full-on tiki era. Sometime between 1960 and 1966, the city of Merchantville changed its name to Cherry Hill, so items from Hawaiian Cottage will bear either name. The building had unusual domed pineapple and coconut roofs. There were floor shows, and leis and souvenir photos for customers. In 1954 a gift shop opened under the pineapple roof. On July 1, 1978, the restaurant was destroyed by a fire. The site is now the location of an Olive Garden.

Opened around 1958.

The Hawaiian Room was in the Emerson Hotel, until the hotel was demolished in 1971.

The space in the hotel that housed the Hawaiian Room had previously been a rather posh barbershop.

Their logo on menus and other printed items was taken directly from Ren Clark's Polynesian Village -- the Milan Guanko Tiki.

On June 23, 1937, the world-famous Hawaiian Room opened. This marks it as a pre-tiki venue although it produced its own tiki mug years later.

The Hawaiian Room was located in the Hotel Lexington (now the Radisson Lexington Hotel). Guests had a hula of a time sipping coconut willies and watching live hula performances. The space became synonymous with entertainer Arthur Godfrey, a well-known TV personality in the 1960s. He’d broadcast his radio show live from that space. The hotel's recently renovated Arthur Godfrey Suite pays homage to his legacy.

The Hawaiian room closed in 1966.

*NOTE that the brochure image shows full detailed recipe for the "Pineapple Paradise" which is only briefly described in menu: 4 small pineapples, 2 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz lime juice, 3 oz Demerara rum, 2 oz light Puerto Rican rum, 2 oz peach brandy, 2 teaspoons fine sugar. Use pineapple shells as containers for this drink. Cut the edges off of pineapples about 1 1/2 inches down, then cut a small notch in the top through which you can insert a straw. Scoop out the interior leaving a shell about 1/4 inch thick. In a shaker put pineapple juice, lime juice, Demerara rum, Puerto Rican rum, peach brandy, and sugar. Add crushed ice and shake. Pour into pineapples, replace pineapple tops, and insert a straw in notches.

The Hawaiian Century Room (1940-1948) was in the Adolphus Hotel, which is still operational since 1912.

Like the Tonga Room in San Francisco, the Hawaiian Century Room had a faux tropical rainstorm effect falling into a central pool. There were also "animated" murals of breaking surf.

Opened in 2003.
