When you think of Waikiki and the landmarks that assist in defining some of our history here in Hawaii, The Royal Hawaiian, the Sheraton Moana Surfrider, and the Natatorium are ones that come to mind instantly. Both historical hotels are privately owned and meticulously maintained. The Natatorium is the only publicly owned property of the three. It is owned by the city and county of Honolulu and to a larger extend the people of Hawaii.

As soon a culture loses its sense of its past it soon loses its sense of direction.
