Volcano House

"An icon of Hawaii hospitality, Volcano House is the only hotel in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Commanding Hawaii’s most unique lodging location, Volcano House overlooks Halema‘uma‘u Crater at the summit of Kilauea. Hike to the Napau Trail to view Pu‘u O‘o along the East Rift zone to witness spectacular eruptions of Kilauea, fed by the Hawaiian hotspot that formed the Hawaiian archipelago through 28 million years of volcanic activity. As Hawaii’s oldest hotel, Volcano House has hosted visitors from around the world for generations, and its historic buildings represent a vital piece of Hawaii’s tourism history. Deeply rooted in Hawaiian culture and hospitality, the Hotel offers an exceptional visitor experience and a legacy of aloha. In partnership with the National Park Service (NPS), Volcano House is proud to welcome visitors with a renewed commitment to Hawaiian hospitality. The restored Volcano House offers 33 historic guest rooms, a dining room, snack bar, lounge, and gift shop, along with cultural events and demonstrations. Check-in: 3 pm Check out: 12 pm Cancellation Policy 3 days cancellation What I like: 🎍 Simple, old-world style lodge 📍 Best location inside the park 🌋 The hotel has stunning crater views 🌋 If you're lucky you can see red lava glows at night Things to Consider: ❕Really meant for 1 or 2 nights only as it doesn't compare to hotels on the west side of Hawaii Island ❕Rustic "National Park" style accommodations. Small bathrooms. ❕Limited food and menu options, given the remote location 🍽 Dining The Rim at Volcano House Savor dishes made with a selection of freshly caught fish, grass-fed beef, vegetables, and more. They create an authentic island environment with the Kilauea caldera and the billowing Halema’uma’u Crater as your backdrop plus live music by local musicians. Uncle George’s Lounge Enjoy lighter fare, an afternoon snack, or late night treat. Uncle George’s Lounge is a Kilauea restaurant and bar where you can catch the big game while savoring a diverse selection of local and domestic beers, signature cocktails, wines and Instagram-worthy views. In Room Dining We have the remedy for a long day hiking through the rainforest. Enjoy at your convenience room service that offers specialty pizza delivery, healthy local juices, and ice-cold drinks.
