Did Royal Lahaina hotel burn down?

The powerful gusts of Hurricane Dora hastened the spread of the flames towards the beach town of Lahaina, which has been completely destroyed, and more victims are likely. No, according to several social media users, the beloved hotel in Hawaii is still standing unscathed by the fires.

In spite of the name, it’s in Kaanapali, some 3.6 miles from Lahaina and a ten-minute drive away. According to the Maui 24/7 Facebook page, the fire did not spread beyond the Lahaina Civic Center, therefore the resort was thankfully spared.

One guest requested an update through email to the hotel’s owner and on one of the establishment’s Facebook pages. The Royal Lahaina declared that it was “well out of the fires’ path” and that all of its assets, clients, and employees were secure.
