Hānaiakamālama, Historic royal residence in Nuuanu Valley, Honolulu, United States.

Hānaiakamālama is a one-story, six-room house with a porch supported by Doric columns in the Greek Revival style. Its timber frame was built in Boston in 1848 and shipped to Hawaiʻi around Cape Horn, then assembled on land in Nuʻuanu Valley. Queen Emma added the Edinburgh Room at the rear in 1869 for the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh.

The house frame was built in Boston in 1848 and shipped to Hawaiʻi around Cape Horn, then assembled on land John Lewis bought from the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Keoni Ana (John Young II) bought it at auction in 1850 for $6,000 and gave it to his niece Queen Emma in 1857. She added the Edinburgh Room in 1869 for the Duke of Edinburgh's visit; after her death in 1885 the Kingdom bought the estate.

The residence reveals how Hawaii's royal family lived in the 1800s, showing original furniture and belongings that tell the story of their daily world. Visitors see how traditional Hawaiian practices and Western influences coexisted within the royal household.

Hānaiakamalama stands at 2913 Pali Highway, less than a ten-minute drive from downtown Honolulu. The museum opens daily from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The 2.16-acre grounds are landscaped with plants native to the Hawaiian Islands, and the Pali Lookout at the Nuʻuanu Pali battlefield is a short distance away.

The house was prefabricated in Boston in 1848 and shipped to Hawaiʻi around Cape Horn, then assembled in Nuʻuanu Valley. In 1869 Queen Emma added the Edinburgh Room for the visit of the Duke of Edinburgh. The grounds cover 2.16 acres and hold many plants native to the Hawaiian Islands.
