Queen Emma Summer Palace

Five minutes by car from downtown Honolulu graces what was once the summer home of Queen Emma, consort to King Kamehameha IV of Hawaiʻi. Now a historic house museum dedicated to preserving the rich legacy of the royal family, Hānaiakamalama, known today as Queen Emma Summer Palace, is a timeless symbol of classic Hawaiian elegance and contemporary style. Built in 1848, Hānaiakamalama is listed on the State and National Historic Registries and houses a collection of Queen Emma’s belongings, antiques, furnishings and royal regalia. Today the Palace is a historic landmark, museum, and cultural site preserved by the Daughters of Hawaiʻi.
