Kahala Hotel & Resort
- World's Best Winner
- T+L 500 Winner
COST: $$$$
This 1964 colossus benefits from having about it a whiff of archaism. It was here, at what was then a Hilton and known as the Kahollywood, that Richard Burton and Liz Taylor hid out from the paparazzi in a private cabana. For a less refined snack order a Hawaiian-style burger from the kitchen: oarse-ground Angus beef patty topped with a fried egg, bacon, guacamole, white cheddar, and shaved onions on a toasted Kaiser roll. On the side: paprika-seasoned fries, spicy ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard.
