History

edit

The shopping center originally opened in 1979 as the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, as part of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel complex with about 100 shops and restaurants and a food court. It was constructed as three separate buildings adjacent to each other with sky walks connecting the upper floors. The center, owned by Kamehameha Schools at the time, completed a $100 million renovation in 2007 to include more retailers and restaurants.[2] The center was sold to RHC Property Holding LLC in 2013.[3]

The Apple Store at the Royal Hawaiian Center was permanently closed on January 20, 2024.[4]
