A menu from another hotel in Minneapolis, the Leamington, also had a restaurant called the Waikiki Room. At first I thought it may have been the Nicollet renamed, but its a different hotel, from what I found so far. The cover has an illustrated view of the dining room, and uses the same tiki logo as the Nicollet's Waikiki Room. Here's a closer view of the logo tiki, as well as the introduction inside, which sounds similar to the Nicollet. Could have just been borrowed elements, but I wonder if the remnants of the Waikiki Room /Nicollet could have gone to the Waikiki Room /Leamington ? Just a thought.
