Honolulu

Hawaii’s Largest City

With a metropolitan population of just under one million, Honolulu is the largest city in Hawaii and a major center of culture, sport, business, and government. Such a large city located close to the beach allows you to experience the state’s natural beauty while having easy access to all the conveniences of modern life, achieving a balance between the two. Downtown Honolulu is Oahu’s epicenter of business and finance.

Location & Lodging

If you’re staying in or around downtown Honolulu, you may opt for a hotel in nearby Waikiki, or you can stay in:

  • Hotels– The Executive Center is a condo unit in the heart of downtown Honolulu. If you’re in town for business in this part of Oahu, this is a very convenient location as it’s walking distance to most businesses in Honolulu’s financial district. The Hawaii Prince Hotel and the Ala Moana Hotel border Honolulu and Waikiki.

  • AirBNB– Looking to experience Honolulu as its citizens do? Through AirBNB, you can stay in local condos and apartments for as little as $35 a night. Many of these sites offer parking, WiFi, pools, beach access, and a number of other amenities.

  • Vacation Rentals– Starting at $500 per week, you can rent a suite, condo, or other lodging places. Vacation rentals typically sleep between 2 and 5 people, and offer easy access to the beach, shopping centers, and other locations.

Lodging is never hard to find in Honolulu. No matter your budget, interests, or plans, you’ll have no trouble living in both convenience and luxury while in this city.
