'Iolani Palace si the only true royal palace in the United States and the last official
residence of the kings and queens who ruled Hawaii. King Kalakaua and Queen
Kapiolani completed the palace in 1882. This palace was the first to be equipped with
telephones and electric lights. It served as the monarch residence until the dethronement
of Queen Lili'uokalani in 1893 by American businessmen. The Queen surrendered to the
United States to prevent the killing of her people with the U.S. making Hawaii a territory
of the United States. The palace later became the capitol until the new state capitol was
built in 1969 and the palace restored to its royal grandeur.

Open to the public from 9 am to 2:15 pm Tuesday through Saturday. Reservations are
recommended (808-522-0832) and admission is $15/adult and $5/child (5-12 years old)
