Definitive open air market |
2863 Kalakaua Ave Honolulu, HI 96815 United States |
A huge 100-year-old banyan tree sits in the middle of this open-air shopping mall in Waikiki. It opened in 1956 and is still a popular shopping stop. Shops sell Aloha shirts, diamonds, pearls, woodcarvings, gold, kites, tapestries and surf equipment. You can find some interesting things at a reasonable cost at this reasonable place. There's an international food court on the premises. On the second level you'll also find a surprisingly good Hawaiian art co-op gallery. Live Hawaiian entertainment is presented free of charge every Friday and Saturday evening. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Shopping center in Waikiki |
131 Kaiulani Avenue (Adjacent to the Hyatt Regency Waikiki) Honolulu, HI 96815 United States http://www.kings-village.com |
Centrally located across from the beautiful Hyatt Regency Waikiki, this is more than just a collection of shops and restaurants. In addition to the highly browsable collection of specialty stores and eateries, there is live entertainment twice a day. Bands, choral groups, local singers and comics all come here on a regular basis to perform. Needless to say, the atmosphere is always quite festive.

Three blocks, four floors |
2201 Kalakaua Avenue, Suite A500 Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 922 0588 http://www.royalhawaiianshoppi... |
With more than 150 specialty stores and restaurants, this is truly a one-of-a-kind complex. The only one larger in Honolulu is the Ala Moana Center, and some people say that Royal Hawaiian is beginning to outgrow its famous neighbor. Designer boutiques include Bulgari, Celine and Cartier. Specialty stores such as the Ukulele House 2 carry local merchandise. With more than a dozen restaurants and informal eateries to choose from, you'll never go hungry. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Another Era of Luxury |
2259 Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 923 7311 http://www.royal-hawaiian.com/ |
The so-called "Pink Palace of the Pacific" opened its doors in 1927 and has been a favorite for the international set ever since. Although there have been many renovations in its more than 70 years of operation, the hotel and grounds have remained graceful, relaxed and very Hawaiian. In one wing, each room comes with a private lanai, canopied bed and Queen Anne-style writing desk. The most luxurious accommodations, the Prestige Suites, are truly magnificent. This is one of two original Waikiki hotels, and it still retains the feeling of Old Waikiki. Review © 2007, Wcities |
