HONOLULU (HI Now) -SCP Hilo Hotel brings the vision of Holistic Hospitality to life, blending The Big Island’s spirit of adventure with a deep respect for Hawaiian culture. Known for its authentic, meaningful experiences, SCP Hilo encourages guests to connect with the island in a way that leaves them with a greater appreciation for its people, traditions, and natural beauty.
Ideally located on the island’s eastern side, the hotel offers easy access to some of Hilo’s most iconic destinations, including Liliʻuokalani Park and Gardens, the Hilo Farmers Market, Rainbow Falls, Nani Mau Gardens, Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, and Mauna Kea. For travelers seeking a regenerative tourism experience, SCP Hilo also hosts locally rooted workshops—everything from sustainable farm tours and coconut tastings to lei making and more.
This spirit of community connection shines even brighter during the Mele Manaka 2025 Community Fair, hosted in partnership with Hawaiʻi Rise Foundation, the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, the Atherton Family Foundation, and Keaukaha General Store. Happening April 24–26, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM daily at SCP Hilo Hotel, this free, three-day event celebrates Hawaiian culture through music, workshops, and more than 70 local vendors. Visitors can enjoy live entertainment and hands-on experiences like lei making, t-shirt printing, and coconut hat weaving, all led by local cultural practitioners.
