Queen Emma Summer Palace Honolulu
The historic Queen Emma Summer Palace is situated in lush Nu‘uanu Valley on the island of O‘ahu. It is located 5 miles from Downtown Honolulu and 10 miles from Waikiki. The former home of Queen Emma, consort of King Kamehameha IV, this New England-style house was constructed on the East Coast, transported around Cape Horn by ship, and assembled in its present location in 1848. The verdant garden of tropical flowers and trees, both native and introduced, are typical of the 19th century era when Queen Emma used the home to escape the hot and dusty climate of Honolulu. On display are artifacts, furnishings and personal items of the royal families of Hawai’i.
The Palace, named Hanaiakamalama, was saved from demolition by the nonprofit organization Daughters of Hawai’i. Today, the Daughters preserve and maintain Queen Emma's Summer Palace and the Hulihe‘e Palace in Kailua-Kona.
