Laguna Beach Gem
The Royal Hawaiian started back in 1947
First opened in 1947 by the Philippines-born Francis Cabang and his partner Harold "Hal" Hanna, The Royal Hawaiian has been an important hangout for decades. Everyone has a story of our establishment that put the lapu lapus on the map.

"The Royal Hawaiian has been described as a historic landmark in Laguna Beach and has served as a refuge for residents and visitors alike. I'm happy to say it has finally returned to its roots of complete exotic immersion. From first stepping inside, you enter a bamboo paradise and are surrounded by natural textures and intriguing south seas artifacts. You can escape to your own personal Bali Hai - even if only for a brief sojourn, but certain to return."
