Check Out These Accommodations in Hilo, Hawaii
Widely considered to be the most affordable pound-for-pound destination on the Big Island, Hilo is a dreamy island paradise complete with gorgeous natural attractions, excellent food, and historic and cultural activities galore. But surprisingly, for being the most populous area on the Big Island, there’s a glut of lodging options for visitors looking to stay in the eastern coastal city with some being a more viable and attractive option than others. Here are our recommendations for hotel accommodations in Hilo:
Grand Naniloa Hotel Hilo
93 Banyan Dr., Hilo, HI 96720
As one of the first hotels built on the Hilo side, the Grand Naniloa Hotel is a classic Hawaiian resort, but with the backing of the Hilton family of hotels, this is an upgraded location for weddings, conferences, and meetings with a massive 13,000 sq. ft. space and the largest catering facility in Hilo. The hotel also holds regular events in its showroom, providing guests with live music and entertainment at no additional charge. Plus, the connected golf course is accessible to guests with a complimentary daily round.
Hilo Hawaiian Hotel
71 Banyan Dr., Hilo, HI 96720
Affordable, comfortable, clean – what else could you want from a hotel room? The Hilo Hawaiian Hotel isn’t fancy, but with it’s fantastic bayside location, pound-for-pound, it’s a solid choice among accommodations in Hilo. And with a private lanai as part of every room, you’ll get to enjoy the late-night island breeze, and a have a nice place to relax with your family in between daytime adventures on the Big Island.
The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls
100 Kulaniapia Dr., Hilo, HI 96721
While an excellent B&B in its own right, the Inn at Kulaniapia Falls has the unique cherry on top in the state’s largest private waterfall. Staying at the inn grants exclusive access to the 100-foot waterfall that was used as a location in several major Hollywood movies, this is a unique benefit not available with other accommodations in Hilo. The inn itself is a sight to behold, with tasteful interior design and private residences available to guests – and of course, a fresh, locally-sourced breakfast is included.
