Vivid color chrome postcard of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel — the "Pink Palace of the Pacific" — seen from the water at Waikiki Beach. The iconic 1927 Spanish-Moorish pink stucco facade rises through coconut palms, with the modern Sheraton Tower addition to the right. The beach in front is lively with sunbathers, swimmers, and an outrigger canoe. The hotel's distinctive pink coat and the turquoise water of Waikiki make for a brilliantly colorful scene.
