In 1937, across the street from the famous Waldorf Astoria in New York City, the Lexington Hotel knew it needed a signature draw. The Hawaiian Room became just that. Hawaiian entertainers backed by an American orchestra in a glamorous tropical setting wooed visitors to the Lexington and to the Islands for thirty years. HPR’sNoeTanigawa reports.
The Hula Preservation Society is raising funds for a film about “The Hawaiian Room” through a kickstarter campaign which ends February 19th.
