“#Hawaii resort where Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra stayed to be torn down<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

One of Hawaii\u2019s most iconic resorts that once welcomed Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, among other stars, is set to be demolished after nearly 30 years of abandonment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Known as the Coco Palms Resort, it first opened in 1953 and shortly thereafter became very popular in the\u00a0Hollywood community. Several movies<\/a> were filmed at the resort, including\u00a0the Presley\u00a0musical rom-com \u201cBlue Hawaii.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Located\u00a0in Wailu\u0101, the structure was built in the middle of a coconut grove that was planted in 1896 on an ancient site of Hawaiian royalty, according to Jam Press. Many\u00a0locals consider the land of historical significance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 1992, Coco Palms \u2014 which sat on nearly 20 acres \u2014 was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki, a Category 4 storm,\u00a0and has since remained neglected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Images show the once-thriving resort now in ruins, having fallen victim to harsh weather and fires caused by arson since the hurricane hit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Water has flooded the resort, while the natural surrounding elements have inhaled the property.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite this, the original artistic mosaic work can still be seen, while some of the\u00a0abandoned 24 rooms of the hotel give a hint of how it used to look in its former glory days.<\/p>\n

The 1953 Oscar-nominated 3-D musical \u201cMiss Sadie Thompson\u201d\u00a0\u2014 starring screen siren Rita Hayworth \u2014 was also filmed there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2016, Honolulu developers GreeneWaters LLC formed a partnership with Coco Palms Hui LLC to restore the resort, with the intent to reopen Coco Palms as part of the Hyatt franchise. But in 2019 the project collapsed<\/a> due to financial reasons. The future of the land remains in limbo. <\/p>\n
