The
Kahala Resort
has attracted countless film and television
stars with its exclusive setting, exemplary service, and
its regard for protecting the privacy of its guests.
Weekend afternoons around the pool were a veritable
who's who of the silver screen, with the like of John
Wayne, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, Eva Gabor and Julie
Andrews languishing in chaise lounges with sunglasses
and cool drinks. Notables such as Jack Lemmon, Jerry
Lewis, Johnny Carson, Tony Bennett and Carol Burnett
signed their names to the register and Burt Reynolds,
Bob Newhart, Bette Midler, and Liza Minelli all took up
momentary residence.
When "Hawaii Five-O" began filming in 1968, actor Jack
Lord arranged for guest stars to stay at the Kahala
Hilton, including Helen Hayes, Martin Sheen, and William
Shatner. In the 1980's, "Magnum P.I" guests enjoyed the
same relationship; the hotel and its beach bar were even
features in many of the series' segments.
The Kahala Resort also became the hotel for royalty,
heads of state, and legends of the sporting, musical,
and literary worlds. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip
stationed themselves at the hotel when coming through
the islands, as did Emperor Hirohito, Prince Rainier and
Princess Grace, Juan Carlos and the Queen of Spain,
Indira Ghandi, and the Dalai Lama. Prince Charles and
Princess Diana once booked 100 rooms for their party's
stopover and Imelda Marcos often stopped in for lunch.
And every president since Nixon has trod the hotel's
special red carpet on the Presidential Suite.
