Honolulu is synonymous with paradise. Beautiful white sand beaches and emerald waters make up the capital and biggest city of the state of Hawaii. Perhaps best known for the world-famous Waikiki Beach, Honolulu offers visitors a slice of Hawaiian luxury and there are some fine quality hotels in Honolulu in which to stay.
The majority of tourists come to Honolulu for the immaculate beaches and beautiful waters around them. The seafront is home to the majority of the best hotels in Honolulu, with Kalakaua Avenue and Ala Wai Boulevard along the coastline boasting fine chain and boutique hotels.
There is some spectacular architecture to view in downtown Honolulu, the square mile which makes up the city’s business district. The Hawaii State Capitol Building is a popular tourist haunt and Washington Place is also a picturesque excursion. This building was the private home of the last sitting monarch of Hawaii, Queen Liliuokalani, and today it serves as a mansion for the state governor. There are also a number of cheap hotels in Honolulu in this part of town.
Honolulu offers fantastic surfing off the coast, and there are many places a tourist can rent a board and hire coaching. The visitor can enjoy the beach both in the daytime and at night, when local artists stage traditional luaus and hula shows on the sand. If you are staying on the beachfront then all of this beach fun and activity will be just a short walk from your hotel in Honolulu.
