acres. At 2005 Kalia Road. Phone (808) 949-4321.

Tower (most luxurious), Rainbow Tower (beachfront), Kalia Tower, Tapa Tower,
Diamond Head Tower, and Lagoon Tower (condo-style suites). The
beachfront location is in Waikiki, but is a short walk from the other big
Waikiki hotels and shopping area.

at the same location.
If you like a really big resort with all the amenities and shops and
restaurants right on the grounds, the Hilton Hawaiian Village is a great
place to stay.
