Description & Facts: Watch the television series "Hawaii Five-O." The introduction shows a camera shot "super-zooming" on Jack Lord who played Steve McGarrett in this series that aired from September 1968 to April 1980. (one of the longest continuous-running police series in US television history) It was filmed entirely on location here in Hawaii. I love watching the show today for it's authenticity. I like looking at the way things were in Honolulu during the 70's. Anyway - The Illikai Hotel was the hotel where Jack Lord was standing out on the lanai when the camera zooms in from a few miles away. The Illkai Hotel was used in many other episodes and it's a great place to sit and watch the fireworks every Friday night. Created on March 27, 2009 using the Mino
