The King Kamehameha Beach hotel (otherwise known as the Courtyard Marriot) is located on Ali’i Drive and has excellent lobby displays, including King Kamehameha’s feathered cloak. The heiau in the area was the king’s personal heiau. In later years the capitol of the Kingdom of Hawaii would move to Lahaina on the island of Maui and then again to Honolulu on the island of Oahu where it is today.
