It is still remembered as the place Robert Louis Stevenson stayed in on his 2nd trip to Hawaii. So much so that the Sans Souci hosted secret meetings of Royalists who planned a rebellion against the Provisional Government who now ruled. The rebellion was put down quickly and Lycurgus was put in jail. Once released he immediately left for the Big Island, where he ran another famous concern, Volcano House.
Sans Souci Hotel, meanwhile, went out of business soon after his exit, leaving Waikiki without an inn for the next 5 years.
