Vulcano House, Hotel on Big Island Hawaii at Volcano

Hotel on Big Island Hawaii (Volcano)

Vulcano House

Perched at crater's edge overlooking Halemaumau, the 4,000-foot summit of Kilauea Volcano, the 78-unit Volcano House is a historic site in a magnificent setting, heir to predecessors dating all the way back to 1846. The 1877 incarnation still survives, next door to the present-day hotel, beautifully restored as a gallery featuring the impressive work of Big Island artists and craftsmen. The hotel is also adjacent to the Visitors Center for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which provides an excellent orientation on the thousands of acres of surrounding parklands. Those parklands are the very reason that Volcano House should be booked as at least a one-night option. Two or three nights won't exhaust the possibilities if active volcanoes, rain forest hikes, uncrowded golf and a bit of exploring are appealing options. The Volcano House provides an excellent base for making several forays to the "flow zones" within the national park. The best times for viewing are dawn and dusk. Clients staying in Volcano House can be back in their rooms in 30 minutes, getting ready for a delicious breakfast or dinner at the hotel's dining room. History
The present hotelbuilding dates from the 1940s, but the site has remained the same since a grass hut was perched on the rim of the crater by a sugar planter in 1846. He charged $1 a night. A steady stream of notable visitors has come ever since: almost all of Hawaii's kings and queens dating from the middle of last century, as well as royalty from Europe. Mark Twain was a guest, followed by Franklin Roosevelt. Most recently, a contingent of astronauts lodged here and used the crater floor to prepare for walking on the moon. Restaurant & Lounge
The award- winning restaurant has a spectacular view of the caldera. The picture-window view of the morning mist exiting the crater provides a spectacular scene by which to enjoy the breakfast buffet. A stop at the bar provides refreshments and a tremendous view of the crater.

It has now been more than 12 years since Sheraton gave up its management role at Volcano House. Since that time it has been operating as an independent property. Since then the Vulcano House has gone through some renovations, but the unique historic character has been remained. Now the rooms have been provided with koa furnishings. Accommodations are available in three price categories. The best of the house are the crater-view rooms in the 42-room main building and a neighboring two-story wing. Rooms in the nearby Ohia Lodge, a rustic wing a minute's walk from the main lobby, are a bit small and less stylish.
