Events

On Sunday, June 1, 1969, the hotel was opened with an event held between 17:30 and 19:30. It was attended by around 400 guests, including Tommy Chan's father Chan Wing.

During the April and May riots of 2006 in Honiara, Sir Tommy Chan (owner of the Honiara Hotel and a naturalized citizen of the Solomon Islands), the hotel, and his son's shop were targeted. However, they escaped damage and destruction due to support from local islanders, Christian brotherhood, and the police.[1]
