Volcano House

Volcano House is an active hotel on the caldera rim. The lobby and the rim-view windows are open to any park visitor for free; behave the way you would in any working hotel — quiet in the lobby, no pool use without paying. The Rim and Uncle George's restaurants are open to non-guests but reservations are useful. If you stay overnight here when the volcano is erupting, the rooms with crater-side windows have the glow of Halemaʻumaʻu visible from the bed. Don't keep someone else awake with the lights.
