Hau‘oli lā Hānau, Princess Ka‘iulani! The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani ‘ohana spent a day honoring the hotel’s namesake, Princess Ka‘iulani on the 149th anniversary of her birth. The day began with lei presentation, cake for hotel guests, entertainment by the legendary Royal Hawaiian Band, and a visit by the students of Princess Ka‘iulani Elementary School in Honolulu. Victoria Ka?iulani Kawēkiu i Lunalilo Kalaninuiahilapalapa Cleghorn was born on October 16, 1875 to Princess Miriam Likelike, who was the sister of both King David Kalākaua and Queen Lili?uokalani. Upon her birth, the young princess was gifted land in Waikīkī, which was named ‘āinahau. Today, the hotel sits on that site, and Ainahau is the name of one of three towers at Sheraton Princess Kaiulani.

Award-winning chefs Blake Kajiwara and Vicky Nguyen team up for a collaboration dinner featuring island-grown ingredients, and beverage pairings with products by Kuleana Rum Works.
