Hale{{okina}}ākala, later renamed {{okina}}Aikupika, and then the Arlington Hotel, was a historic structure in Honolulu, Hawaii, which was the home of various prominent Hawaiians, and later became a hotel, and the initial headquarters of the American military forces involved in the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
History
The two-story pink coral house was built in Honolulu, on King Street, around the 1850s by Hawaiian high chief Pākī, who initially lived there with his wife Kōnia and their hānai daughter, Lydia Pākī, the natural daughter of Keohokalole and Kapaakea. The house was called Hale{{okina}}ākala, sometimes translated as House of the Sun (Haleakalā), but probably meant Pink House after the coral rock from which the house was constructed.{{cite book |author=George Kanahele |author-link=George Kanahele |url=http://www.ulukau.org/elib/cgi-bin/library?c=pauahi&l=en |title=Pauahi: the Kamehameha Legacy |publisher=Kamehameha Schools Press |year=2002 |isbn=0-87336-005-2 |orig-year=1986}}{{rp|75}} Pākī built the house himself, replacing the original grass hut complex of the same name at the same site, financed by the sale of Mākaha Valley.

At the time of the overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy in January 1893, United States Navy Lieutenant Lucien Young commanded a detachment from the USS Boston which mustered at "Camp Boston", initially established at the Arlington Hotel.
The building was purchased at auction in 1900, and demolished to make way for a bank.{{cite web|url=http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85047084/1900-09-06/ed-1/seq-6/|title=Liliʻuokalani's Childhood Home to Go Under the Hammer Today|publisher=The Pacific Commercial Advertiser|date=September 6, 1900|page=6}}{{Cite news |date=March 28, 1927 |title=Great Chief Paki played and Last Queen lived on Bank of Hawaii Site |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/259043725/?clipping_id=26073150&fcfToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJmcmVlLXZpZXctaWQiOjI1OTA0MzcyNSwiaWF0IjoxNzE1OTk3MzUwLCJleHAiOjE3MTYwODM3NTB9.UUoaxZB7BJFTkpwDo9DaKl9ih4dGgtlt_4i0V4jRddE | publisher=The Honolulu Advertiser | access-date=May 17, 2024 }}
