Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park
Lodging
Volcano House hotel is nestled on the rim of Kilauea and across the street from the Kilauea Visitor Center

NOTE: The Volcano House hotel and Namakanipaio Cabins are closed for seismic and fire safety improvements. Additionally, the National Park Service is seeking a new concessions contract that will restore the facility's overall aesthetic appeal and historic ambiance. The facility is scheduled to reopen in late 2012.

Located within Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park and nestled on the rim of Kilauea caldera, the Volcano House with its unique charm, has captured the hearts of local islanders and travelers from all over the world. As Hawai'i's oldest continually operated hotel, with a history dating back to 1846, the Volcano House has offered spectacular views and warm hospitality for decades.

The Volcano House is just a short walk across Crater Rim Drive from park headquarters and the Kilauea Visitor Center. From Hilo: 30 miles southwest on Highway 11 (45 minute drive); from Kailua-Kona: 96 miles southeast on Highway 11, or 125 miles through Waimea and Hilo via highways 19 and 11 (2 1/2 to 3 hour drive).

Facilities include 42 Rooms, (20 Crater View, 12 Non-crater View, 10 Garden View ) Ka Ohelo Dining Room, Uncle George's Lounge, 2 Gift Shops and a Snack Bar. Ten Camper Cabins are operated by the Volcano House and are located in the Namakanipaio Campground.
