No No,

Thanks for all of your stories and history. I spotted another postcard of the Big Guy under the A-Frame before the knee surgery.

And I found a great New York School of Interior Design exhibit about the Inter-Continental hotels and Neal Prince that included some really nice photos from the Taharaa Hotel.

The inside Tiki bar.

I wonder if the Tikis and panels are from Oceanic Arts as well?

The outside bar.

The pool, what a view from the top!

Another bar.

The Captain Cook restaurant.

and a well appointed guest room.

Here is the text from the exhibit:

Wow, what a VIEW that place had! No No, thanks for the great stories, especially how the giant Maori Tiki was not allowed in and involuntarily became the the front entrance icon.

DC, the Marquesan Tiki on the right is pretty certainly from O.A., here's their catalog:

The panel also has Marquesan designs on it but it looks like it was done locally.

DC, do you know what year was the New York School of Interior Design exhibit?
