General description:.. ..........................(Back to top)

• Built in 1970 with 35 floors and over 1000 rooms, the Ala Moana Hotel has gone through various ownerships and management/marketing companies but over the years it kept the same name. With ample common areas, lobby and several restaurants and shops to choose from, the Ala Moana Hotel has housed scores of visitors and locals alike.
  In 2006 the hotel underwent a deep transformation when it was totally renovated and each unit sold as a condominium. The majority of the new individual owners participate in what is called a "hotel pool" that operates just as a hotel in what is now known as a condo-hotel.
  From the standpoint of the visitor, the fact that it is a condo-hotel makes no difference but from the owners perspective it means that each unit belongs to a different individual and is run by the Hotel Management as a Hotel operation. There are some units that are not part of the "hotel pool", whose owners either decided to live in the building or rent them separately, that is how you will be able to find Ala Moana condos rented as vacation rentals. Like everywhere else, parking is available for guests but will cost you a daily fee.
  

What we like about this hotel:.............................(Back to top)

• It is a large hotel and it "feels' like it, with spacious common areas, pool area, fitness center, several restaurants and shops.
• It is just across the street from the Honolulu Convention Center, it's location is invaluable for those attending any event there.
• It is located behind the largest Shopping center in the state of Hawaii, the Ala Moana Shopping center, so if shopping is your goal, this is the right place.
• Even though it is right next to Waikiki, It is technically outside the area and this makes it very popular with those travelers coming to Honolulu for business, since there is less traffic to deal with than for a Hotel within Waikiki.
• For many people "in the know", Ala Moana beach is the best beach that the City of Honolulu has to offer with it's extra calm water and a perfect park setting in the back, the Ala Moana is the closest Hotel to this beach within a few minutes walk from the entrance.

• Even though this hotel is only 15 to 20 minutes walk from the center of Waikiki, if you want to be in the "heart of everything", it may feel too far.
• There are 2 different towers in this hotel, the Waikiki Tower and the Mauka Tower, the latter one is shorter than the former and has large windows with balcony railings but not a balcony that you can step out to, the rooms at the Mauka Tower are also smaller. If you have a choice, choose the Waikiki Tower.
• The Ala Moana beach is only 8 minutes walk from this hotel but many travelers seeking this Hotel category prefer to be closer to the ocean.
