The hotel is still there. It may have been the last of the Kona Kai locations in the country when Marriott converted it to an Italian restaurant. DC also had a Trader Vic's, which closed in 1995. After a long Tiki drought, Tiki bars have returned to the DC area, including one in Bethesda - just minutes from the old Kona Kai. But sadly, none with the size and the grandeur of the places like Trader Vic's and Kona Kai.
