  Hanaiakamalama - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hanaiakamalama, or Queen Emma Summer Palace, served as a retreat for Queen Emma of Hawaii from 1857 to 1885, as well as for her husband King Kamehameha IV, and their son, Prince Albert Edward.
Hanaiakamalama is located in the Nuā€˜uanu Valley, long a popular location first for Hawaiian chiefs and royalty, and later for non-Hawaiian residents, who found the cooler climate of the uplands more comfortable than downtown Honolulu.
Not far from Hanaiakamalama is the Pali Lookout, site of the battle of Nuuanu Pali, where Kamehameha I defeated to forces of the King of Oahu, consolidating his claim as monarch of the Hawaiian Islands.

Queen Emma spent many happy and memorable moments with her husband, King Kamehameha IV and their young son, Prince Albert Edward at the "Hanaiakamalama." The young prince was an instant and intimate part of the royal couple's private life and he was taken nearly everywhere they went.
It is sad to note, however, that the little prince who rekindled the hopes of the Hawaiians for a successor to the throne, died in 1862 at the tender age of four.
Queen Emma died in 1885 and after her death the Hawaiian Monarchial Government bought the "Hanaiakamalama." In the early 1900s there were plans to build a park with a baseball field where the home was located.

 Nu'uanu, O'ahu -- Memories: Hanai-a-ka-malama
Hanaiakamalama, or Queen Emma's Summer Palace, is the only remaining royal residence, besides the ruins of Kaniakapupu.
It was slated for demolition under the Territorial government in the early 1900s, but a group of women came together as the Daughters of Hawai‘i and has since been maintaining and preserving the property as a museum.
At the time of its founding, Hanaiakamalama was one of very few established residences in central Nu‘uanu.

At the bottom of the falls is a dark pool where I swim, mindful to ask the blessing of the lizard god Mo'o, who is said to live in its depths.
In the mid 19th century, King Kamehameha IV's wife, Queen Emma, built Hanaiakamalama (2913 Pali Hwy.; 808/595-3167) as a summer palace, in Nuuanu Valley off the Pali road.
A fine example of a Greek Revival mansion, Hanaiakamalama seems poignant now, perhaps because the queen's son, Prince Albert, heir to the kingdom and named after the prince consort of England, died there.

The two clear evenings that I went out stargazing I managed to find a spot where the Southern Cross stood just above the ridge of a mountain range.
Hawaiians call the Southern Cross "Hanaiakamalama," and to see it I had to pull off the highway at one of those scenic vista spots announced by a roadside sign.
There I stood, binoculars and star map in hand, covering my eyes from the lights of passing cars as I peered across the valley below and into the night sky.
