King Kamehameha’s Kona Beach Hotel

Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, United States

Hotel · local-legend

The Story

The hotel’s upper floor is associated with warrior apparitions and sounds resembling battle. Haunted Places also records a very different story downstairs: a portrait of Queen Liliʻuokalani seems to move as though breathing. These accounts connect the property’s displays and spaces with its royal setting, without proving that either phenomenon occurs.
