Vintage Postcards of Hawaiian Hotel Rooms from the 1950s

There was a golden age for the hotel industry in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Due to the post-war economic boom, increasing urbanization, and the expansion of social benefits, traveling was more accessible than ever to the average American family. In the United States, new hotels sprang up as a result. Over 2,000 motels and 80 hotels were built in 1962 alone.

Travelers can no longer expect to find a small cabin with just a bed and a desk lamp. Hotel rooms finally had televisions (some even in color!), quality furniture, and the most iconic hotel perk of all: the mini-bar.

These vintage postcards show interiors of Hawaiian hotel rooms from the 1950s.
