Some further information on the Kon Tiki at the Sheraton in Waikiki for those interested, including lots more photos of the interior. This was the last of the Kon Tiki chain to open June 1971 and was the last to close in 1993, yes, it actually lasted until then. Might be some new information for some people in the below newspaper extracts from the Honolulu Advertiser and the Honolulu Star.
