Hawaii

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Hawaii - the Aloha State - welcomes and seduces visitors with its sea breezes and tropical warmth. This is where East merges with West in a blur of hula and disco, fast food and tea ceremonies, Shinto shrines and surf clubs.

Mark Twain declared Hawaii to be the loveliest fleet of islands that lies anchored in any ocean, and not even 30 years of mass tourism have managed to prove him wrong. Whether your thing is volcano spotting, surfing or just lying back and smelling the orchids, this is the place to indulge yourself.

Lahaina Inn

Walking into this age-old inn with its frontier facade is like stepping back in history. Its dozen guest rooms have been painstakingly restored. With solidly antique furnishings and Hawaiian quilts on the beds, everything about the place stays true to the period theme.

Hilton Waikoloa Village

Once billed as the world's most costly resort to construct, the ostentatious 62-acre Hilton Waikoloa blurs the line between resort and theme park. A monorail and canopied boats cruise artificial canals past an artificial saltwater lagoon and a sandy beach filled with guests.

The Royal Hawaiian

The 'Pink Palace of the Pacific' is undoubtedly the most iconic hotel in Waikiki. Amidst a swath of white skyscrapers, you can't miss the pink Spanish-Moorish hotel, sitting prettily on the beach. If you want to step back into pre-statehood Hawaii splendor, this is it.
