Royal Hawaiian Hotel - Wildwood Crest
Wildwood Crest, New Jersey, United States
The Royal Hawaiian in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey was built by Lou Morey in 1969 and was part of the Wildwoods Shore Historic District.
It is classified as "Doo Wop" style in New Jersey (what might be referred to as "Googie" on the West Coast).
Located on Orchid Street near the beach and Atlantic Avenue.
Originally it had an Easter Island head on the signage and logo.
Over the years, details were added like a large flying saucer shaped room on the top which was originally a restaurant, but is now a penthouse suite.
Also, the Easter Island head was replaced with a palm tree logo.
The hotel was purchased by Madison Resorts in 2023 and is now part of the Madison Resort Wildwood Crest.
Lester Klayman and his family owned the Royal Hawaiian until Madison Resorts purchased it.
Reportedly, the Madison Resorts' plan is to preserve the property's historic architecture and create a world-class resort that will be part of the Madison Resort Wildwood Crest, which also includes the Oceanview Motel.
