Today we give you a first look at the newly renovated Royal Hawaiian Hotel. The fact that the Hotel is reopening is big news this month. After $85 million in renovations, the iconic "Pink Palace" is a shade pinker on the outside and a lot more modern on the inside. There are new and more modern amenities that demanding high-end travelers now expect: granite-and-glass bathrooms, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations, for example. The makeover closed the hotel for seven months. We talk about the rich history of this property and how they are bringing Aloha back to the Hawaii vacation experience.
