Historic Location
Hotel Tiare Tahiti is built on the northern part of the Pomare’
Royal Estate. This royal land constituted the heart of the small village
of Papeete founded by the Reverend William P. Crook in 1818. Its center
was located somewhere in Bougainville Park. In the olden days, it was
said that the Tahitians loved to draw the exceptionally pure water from
the stream that crossed the Pomare Estate. Working efficiently, they
would lower gourds placed in baskets into the crystal-pure water. Hence,
from a past daily activity on the domain came the name Papeete or “water
basket” which was given to the capital of French Polynesia. For more
than a century and this until the 1960’s, one could find the American
Consulate at the very spot where Hotel Tiare Tahiti islands now JA
Moerenhout, the first US Consul, arrived in Tahiti in 1835. In 1930,
famous painter Henri Matisse stayed for three month in Room 14 of the
Stuart Hotel located next to the Consulate. For
