American Textile History Museum - Exhibitions - Let’s Go Hawaiian! > Current Exhibitions > Past Exhibitions > Future Exhibitions January 31, 2004– June 20, 2004 Let’s Go Hawaiian! Hawaiian shirts (also known as Aloha shirts), have become the recognized symbol of this tropical paradise. The bold, colorful patterns illustrate the lifestyle, culture, flowers, foliage and heritage of the Hawaiian Islands. The American Textile History Museum presents a special exhibition, Let’s Go Hawaiian from January to June, 2004. It is a fanciful look at our fascination with Hawaii, its influence on mainstream culture, and a lighthearted exploration of the cult of the Hawaiian shirt. The exhibit tells the story of our enchantment with Waikiki through the exhibition of over 150 shirts from the 1930s through the 60s. The exhibit invites you to step off a cruise ship into a make-believe vacation in paradise. The illusion is supported by tourist memorabilia, maps, tropical scenery, and other artifacts representative of our notions of what Hawaii was and is. From early surfers, cruise ships and the burgeoning tourist trade to Elvis, the Beach Boys and Parrot Heads, the sounds, colors, styles and ethos of ‘Blue Hawaii’ will be resident at ATHM during the run of the special exhibition.

Macintosh created designs, including this one, that were originally used for menu covers on Matson ships and later adapted for shirts. Shirt #198 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, wood buttons Brown ground with gray, white, yellow, orange Design: Border print of fighting dragons and tigers Label: “Malihini / MADE IN / HAWAII” Shirt #213 Short sleeves, spread collar Rayon, plastic buttons Black ground with yellow, green, red Design: Leis No label Designed by John "Keoni" Meigs, one of the foremost Hawaiian shirt designers.

Feather pillows. Clean. In front of the prettiest section of Waikiki beach. Cons: Small bathroom, slow elevators, $14 for parking, not enough electrical outlets I've stayed here on two occasions for business travel and we've also used their facilities for conferences. Overall, I've never had much to complain about their rooms, facilities, or services and would recommend this hotel. The Location The ... Read the full review Product Rating: Mediocre at best by Cie_Siyavash_Sharp , Oct 29 '00 Pros: Affordable. Leaving gives you a feeling of relief, it conformed to all fire and safety codes Cons: Bad views, far from Waikiki Proper, bad rooms, bad food, not very enjoyable. My family stayed here about six years ago, just for one night, because both the Royal Hawaiian and Surfrider hotels were booked at that time. I think it was also a free bonus for going on American Hawaii Cruises. Like AHC, this place was sort of a...

Cons: none, so go now and enjoy the nicely done renovation. After a week in Maui, came to Honolulu to pay respects to relatives with a quick 3 nite stay.

Read the full review Express Reviews Product Rating: Great for Families! by gia_artist ,Feb 15 '04 Pros: Views, proximity to beach, near Aloha Shell, everything in walking distance! Cons: Cabanas near the pool get full fast! Get there early to get one! Traveled here in August 2003, Loved this hotel, we booked through a travel site and were upgraded to an Ocean view for free upon arrival. The view of Diamond head is captivating! The hotel has undergone a huge renovation in 2001 and it is just beautiful. At night the torches light the beach beneath you and it is on the quieter side of Waikiki so it isn't as crazy as downtown sometimes gets. In my opinion it is a safer area too, at least it felt that way. The beach in front of the hotel is perfect for little ones because of the man-made barrier. Would go back with my family again & again! Showing 1-5 of 5 reviews Featured Resources Additional information on Marriott Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa or other products.
