Hulihee Palace

Hulihee Palace

The Huliheokinae Palace is located in historic Kailua-Kona, Hawaiokinai, on Aliokinai Drive. It being the former vacation home of Hawaiian royalty, it is now a museum run by the Daughters of Hawaiokinai, showcasing furniture and artifacts. Hulihe‘e means "“Turn flee.”"

The palace was originally build by John Adams Kuakini, Governor of Hawaii out of lava rock. He died and left it to his "hanai" (adopted) son William Pitt Leleiohoku I, the son of Prime Minister William Pitt Kalanimoku. Leleiohoku died in the measle epidemic of 1848 and left it to his son John William Pitt Kinau but he died young and the palace went to his mother Princess Ruth Keelikolani. Ruth made Hulihee her chief residence where she lived for most of her life but she rather preferr to reside in the grass hut on the palace ground rather than sleep in the palace. She invited everyone of the reigning monarchs to vacation at Hulihee from Kamehameha III to Liliuokalani. Ruth died and left the palace to her cousin and sole heir Bernice Pauahi Bishop. It was later sold to King Kalākaua and Queen Kapiolani. Kalakaua renames the palace "Hikulani Hale", which means "“House of the Seventh ruler ,”" referring to himself, the seventh monarch of the monarchy that began with King Kamehameha I. In 1885, King Kalākaua had the palace plastered over to give the building a more refined appearance. After Kalakaua's death it passed to Kapiolani who left Hulihe‘e Palace to her two nephews, Prince Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana‘ole Pi‘ikoi and Prince David Kawananakoa.

The palace was slightly damaged in the 2006 Hawaii earthquake. Slight cracks in the walls and ceilings formed during the earthquake centered near Kailua-Kona.
