The Tonga Room is riding the wave of the tiki revival and recently has been recognized as one of the nation’s hottest bars by InStyle, Gourmet, Travel+Leisure, Harper’s Bazaar and Wallpaper magazines, as well as The Food Network.

The Tonga Room has delighted guests with its tropical décor, decadent libations and Asian cuisine since 1945. Having reigned as a swanky outpost of South Seas high style for much of its storied history, The Tonga Room more recently gained a following as an icon of tiki’s pop culture.
 

Originally, The Fairmont created an indoor 75-foot swimming pool on its Terrace Level in 1929, known as the “Fairmont Terrace Plunge”, and attracted celebrities such as actress Helen Hayes, actor Ronald Reagan and members of the Water Follies. In 1945, Metro Goldwyn Mayer’s leading set director, Mel Melvin, was hired to transform The Terrace Plunge into The Tonga Room. The pool became a lagoon, a floating stage for the orchestra that entertained guests each evening. Not surprisingly, The Tonga Room was an instant success.
 

Following a $1 million restoration, The Tonga Room has rekindled the excitement of its unique and time-honored décor to recapture the glory of one of the nation’s first tiki palaces. Eco-friendly bamboo tabletops and tribal wall coverings in fuchsia and orange add excitement throughout the lounge and restaurant.

The Tonga Room features a top-40 band performing from a thatch-covered barge on the lagoon, a dance floor built from the remains of the S.S. Forester, and periodic light tropical rainstorms, complete with thunder and lightening.

Valid one year from date of purchase, subject to availability. The Tonga Room is open Wednesday through Sunday evenings.
