The ‘Iolani Palace was the royal residence of many rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaii, and it is also the only royal palace on United States soil.

The residents began with Kamehameha II and ended with Queen Lili’uokalani. The palace is now a National Historic Landmark. It has been restored and is currently operating as a historic house museum. The palace is located in downtown Honolulu, Oahu and offers two tour options. Guests can choose to go on a docent led tour or a self-led audio-guided tour.

Both tour options see the same parts of the palace – both the first and second floors. Guests of both types of tours can explore the basement gallery on their own after the tour.

There is an introductory video shown every half hour in the barracks. Online reservations at iolanipalace.org are recommended to secure a spot.
