Fodor's Review:

For many years the home of Hawaii's governors, this white-columned mansion was built by sea captain John Dominis, whose son married the woman who became the Islands' last queen, Liliuokalani. Deposed by American-backed forces, the queen returned to the home -- which is in sight of the royal palace -- and lived there until her death. The non-profit Washington Place Foundation operates the gracious estate now, opening it for tours weekday mornings and on special occasions. Reservations required, 48 hours in advance.
