A settlement since the 11th
century, Honolulu has been the capital city of the State of Hawaii
since 1845. The name means 'sheltered bay', and it was this bay
that made it so popular in the 1800's, becoming the Pacific
crossroads for merchant ships traveling between Asia and the
Americas, and enabling the town to grow very quickly.
Today, the city has a resident
population of nearly 400,000 and is home to the main international
airport, which sees nearly 8 million visitors pass through it every
year. It is a popular holiday destination, with the famous
Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head volcano, and consequently the are
many hundreds of hotels, bars, restaurants and shopping areas for
the visitors and locals alike to enjoy.
Honolulu is a vibrant,
cosmopolitan city, offering dining and shopping venues to suit
every taste and budget, from a hot dog from a street vendor cart,
to the finest gourmet cuisine, and the tacky, kitsch souvenir
stalls to modern, glass shopping malls full of interesting
independants and high class designer stores. There are also
numerous museums, gallerys, historic landmarks and sporting venues,
as well as other tourist attractions, such as the Honolulu Zoo, USS
Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbour, Iolani Palace and the Waikiki
Aquarium, to name just a few.
Most of the more popular Waikiki
hotels are located on a strip of land between the beach and the
man-made Ala Wai canal, and on or between the 2 main parallel roads
of beachside Kalakaua Avenue and canal-side Ala Wai Boulevard.
Inbetween the two is the smaller Kuhio Avenue and crossing
all of them are a number of smaller streets. Most of the main
shops, shopping malls, bars and restaurants are found along these
roads, and wherever you stay in this area, everything is within
easy walking distance.
Listed below are just a very small
selection of hotels available in Honolulu and the Waikiki Beach
area, and in our opinion, offer a cross section, of budget value,
great location hotels, right up to deluxe, superior properties
offering every luxury. However, we can book any property on
