Five million people per year visit the island of O'ahu and the Pacific metropolis of Honolulu. It is no wonder that the island boasts some of the finest hotels in the world. It is the land of Aloha, and you'll find the famous Aloha Spirit in many of the fine area hotels.

Waikiki

The two oldest hotels on the strand are the Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel, dating from the early 1900s, and the "Pink Lady of the Pacific," the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Both of these great hotels are right on the beach and in the top tier of accommodations in Waikiki. The Halekulani is also considered by many people to be one of the top five hotels in the Islands. All three of these elegant options are expensive, but the accommodations, ambience and service at each of them are of the highest quality. The Hyatt Regency Waikiki, while not right on the beach, is a top-notch complex. The view of the Pacific and Waikiki from the upper floors is dramatic. The Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel at the start of the beach is a bit less expensive, but is still wonderful; it's the number one choice for families. The Village has two high-rise towers, a lovely tropical shopping bazaar, many fine restaurants, three pools and a beachfront location.

Another famous chain, Outrigger, has no fewer than 16 locations in Waikiki. Among them are the ideally situated Outrigger Reef on the Beach, flagship Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach and new Outrigger Prince Kuhio. These are moderately priced hotels, but the quality of the rooms and service is very good. Aston is well represented in Waikiki. The Aston at the Waikiki Banyan and Aston Coral Reef Hotel provide excellent accommodations at moderate prices. Another reasonably priced choice for people who need to be right on the water is the recently renovated Marc Waikiki Royal Suites. Every room is a suite and most overlook the beach.

There are many economy choices in this famous area. An excellent option is Waikiki Parkside. As the name suggests, it overlooks a beautiful park that marks the start of Waikiki. Family plans at this hotel are quite reasonable. The Ilima Hotel has good rates and offers full kitchens for those who wish to prepare their own meals. It's a very practical amenity for travelers on a budget, as dining out in Waikiki can be an expensive affair. The Castle Hotel group operates several Hawai'i hotels, all reasonably priced. One of the best is Queen Kapiolani Hotel.

Almost all of the hotels in Waikiki have Japanese speaking personnel, and the spirit of Aloha is very much alive throughout the hospitality industry.

Ala Moana

As mentioned above, the Ala Moana district of Honolulu is the community that borders Waikiki; it is a very popular shopping and dining area. The Ala Moana Hotel sits right beside the shopping mall and is a moderately priced choice for accommodations. Nearby is the Westin Hawaii Prince Hotel. It is a bit pricier than its neighbors, but exceptionally well appointed. On the border of Ala Moana and Waikiki, Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki offers short- and long-term accommodations in a great setting overlooking the colorful Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. Discovery Bay (across the street from the Ilikai ) offers long-term vacation condo rentals. The Pagoda Hotel on Rycroft Street, three blocks from the Ala Moana Shopping Center, is a favorite economy hotel of inter-island travelers and knowledgeable visitors from the mainland. There are several hostelries in the Ala Moana area, but it is best to avoid them.

Downtown and Airport Areas

Honolulu's central area is one of the nicest, prettiest and cleanest in the U.S. Here, you'll find the Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel on Bishop Street. This luxurious business stopover features well-appointed suites and all the necessities for conducting commerce.

Like most cities, Honolulu has a number of good lodging options near its busy international airport. The Honolulu Airport Hotel on Nimitz Highway offers comfortable rooms and is a favorite stopover for military personnel from nearby Pearl Harbor and Hickam Airforce Base. The hotel offers a free 24-hour airport shuttle service, as does Best Western Plaza Hotel next door.

Outlying Areas

Kahala, lying just to the south of Waikiki and at the foot of Diamond Head Crater, boasts one of the best and most exotic hotels, the Kahala Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Like all of the Oriental hotels worldwide, this is a showplace. Set on the beach amid beautiful gardens and patios, it is also one of the most expensive places on the island.

The premier place to stay on Oahu's famous north shore, 25 minutes from downtown Honolulu, is the Hilton Turtle Bay Resort. It is a great place to get away from it all while relaxing in a low-rise, blissfully Hawaiian setting. It is also a wonderful place to take in a sunset.

At secluded Ko Olina Marina is the lovely JW Marriott Ihilani Resort & Spa. Boasting a world-class golf course, the Azul and an idyllic natural setting, this place appeals to the true escapist.

If smaller, more intimate lodgings appeal to you, there are many Bed and Breakfasts in Honolulu and on O'ahu. Bed & Breakfast Hawai'i at +1 808 822 7771 can help you find a suitable place anywhere from Waikiki to the Manoa Valley to the North Shore.

Scenic downtown spot

Honolulu, HI 96813

While it's almost become too popular with yacht owners, and as is a result beginning to suffer from over-congestion, this harbor is a favorite scenic spot. Views of the Ala Wai Harbor are a coveted feature for downtown restaurants and hotels. From the harbor one can see the Diamond Head or the endless blue Pacific. If you want a little more action, head over to Kaiser's Bowl and watch the surfers do their thing. The Waikiki Trolley makes regular stops here.

Discovery Bay


Skyrise on the outskirt of Waikiki
1778 Ala Moana Blvd
Honolulu, HI 96815
United States
An impressive structure that sits smack-dab in between Waikiki and Ala Moana, this building is practically a district in itself. With a two-story shopping mall and several restaurants on-site, it offers plenty of guest services and activities. Amenities aren't too shabby either; units are furnished with washer/dryers and full kitchens. Ocean views are the standard.

This is a long-term accommodation, available for one month, minimum. It doesn't really qualify as a money-saving option, but families or groups with plenty to spend on accommodations will be happy in the elegant, spacious units.

Several rental and realty firms handle the different units. Some good ones to try are Hawaiian Properties (+1 808 955 3341), Waikiki Suites (http://www.waikikisuites.com) and Discovery Bay Realty (+1 808 946 3370).

Prices start at $3,000 per month.
