The Royal Hawaiian Gets a Carpet Upgrade

Where: 2259 Kalakaua Ave [map], Honolulu, HI, United States, 96815

Ah, Royal Hawaiian. We're sorry for giving you a hard time about that fugly carpet of yours. It's Friday, we're in a good mood (and also we're beginning to suspect that one day we may get karmic retribution from the universe in the form of being placed in charge of a hotel that gets delayed for reasons beyond our control and has irreplaceable fugly carpet), so we will deliver a compliment: this carpet is good. See? There, we said it. We like it. It's tasteful and modern, yet not out of place in the famed "Pink Palace of the Pacific"!

Reader K sent over this shot of some Royal Hawaiian carpet:

I live on Maui and was recently over on Oahu and toured the newly renovated Royal Hawaiian. I did take this picture of the carpet and lightings leading to the newer wing of the building. I thought it was very tasteful with all the pink and stuff.

We agree. Perhaps this carpet arrived with the massive overhaul at the beginning of the year. You've come a long way (from this), baby.
