Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center

Frommer's Review

After 2 years and $84 million in renovations, a new, larger, upscale shopping center opened in 2007 with 110 shops, restaurants, a nightclub and theater, and a garden grove of 70 coconut trees with an entertainment area. The result is a 293,000-square foot open-air mall (17,000 sq. ft. larger than before) with shopping, dining, and activities on four levels. One of the flagship stores is Hilo Hattie with some 30,000 square feet. The most exciting addition is the $15-million, 760-seat theater, with moving stages and acrobatic rigging. After the show, half of the theater's seating will retract to create a nightclub which holds up to 1,000 people. Upscale is the operative word here. Although there are drugstores, lei stands, restaurants, and food kiosks, the most conspicuous stores are the European designer boutiques (Chanel, Cartier, Hermès, L'Occitane, Fendi, Kate Spade, Bvlgari, Salvatore Ferragamo, and more) that cater largely to visitors from Japan. Daily 10am to 10pm.
