La Ronde (restaurant)

Built in 1961[3] and designed by John Graham,[4] it was the first revolving restaurant in the United States[5] (preceding the "Eye of the Needle" restaurant in Seattle) and the third[6][7] of its kind (after[8][9] the Florian Tower and the Cairo Tower) in the world.

The restaurant was situated at 1441[2] Kapi'olani Boulevard[4] in the Ala Moana district of Honolulu.

The restaurant was 72 ft (22 m) in diameter with a 16-foot-wide (4.9 m) revolving carousel which rotated around a fixed core[4] and had a seating capacity of 162 guests.

The office building has a total height of 25 floors and 298 ft (91 m)[2] including an observation deck at the top.

[4] The premises were converted to office space, and the floor was welded into place.
