When it comes to places to stay on lovely Lanai, there aren't very many choices. There's a nice, quaint small hotel in Lanai City, a few B&Bs and condos, and two expensive and stunning worldclass resorts.

The hotel maintains 10 guest rooms along with a cottage and is home to an excellent restaurant, Henry Clay's Rotisserie. (Chef Henry Clay Robinson and his family own and operate the hotel and restaurant.) Room rates start at $105.
