Kauai Palms Hotel

Island Charm Just Minutes from Lihue’s Music Scene

Kauai Palms Hotel is a laid-back, island-style hotel located right next to Lihue Airport and just minutes from downtown. With views of the Kipu Mountains and free WiFi, it’s a simple, clean, and budget-friendly base for your concert getaway. The hotel features tropical decor, flat-screen TVs, and rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens in select units—no resort, parking, or cleaning fees to worry about.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than 10 minutes from downtown Lihue, where local music venues and bars host live performances. If you're flying in for a show, the location right next to the airport is unbeatable. Noise levels are surprisingly low, and with flexible check-in at 3:00 PM and checkout at 11:00 AM, it's easy to rest up post-show. Free parking makes late-night returns a breeze.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel is within walking distance to local eateries and quick bites. Guests love the nearby coffee shops for an easy post-show breakfast. Rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens are perfect for late-night snacks or morning recovery meals.

Nightlife Options

Downtown Lihue offers bars, lounges, and casual spots for live music or a celebratory drink. While the hotel itself is more of a quiet retreat, you’re never far from the action—just close enough to escape it.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the friendly staff, clean rooms, and excellent value. Many note it's a great location for exploring the island or catching a show in town. The mountain views and vintage Hawaiian vibe add to the charm.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms don’t have air conditioning, so double-check when booking if that’s important to you. There’s no on-site dining or bar, but with plenty nearby, most don’t mind. It’s more no-frills than flashy—but that’s part of the appeal.

The Bottom Line

Kauai Palms Hotel is a budget-friendly, peaceful base for concert-goers looking to stay close to the music—but far enough for a great night’s sleep.
