Hawaii is a vacation destination visited by 10 million people a year. Its stunning beaches, national parks, rainforests, blend of East and West cultures, warm weather, and even warmer Aloha spirit draws people from around the world.
Most visitors come to Hawaii through Oahu’s Honolulu International Airport. Suppose you’re looking to end your travel day there and vacation on the Island dubbed The Heart of Hawaii. In that case, one award-winning resort is regularly recommended by experts and travelers alike especially for those visiting Hawaii with kids. It’s the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
When traveling to Hawaii, perhaps for the first time, you’re looking for a hotel with it all. In a place where land is hard to come by, the Hilton Hawaiian Village sits across 22 prime acres on Waikiki Beach. It’s on the widest stretch of sand yet is steps away from downtown restaurants and shops, including Ala Moana mall, the largest open-air shopping center in the world.
Aside from being adored by guests, it’s also a place of historical significance and pop-culture milestones. Guests can order the iconic Blue Hawaii cocktail, invented at the resort in 1957 by legendary bartender Harry Yee. It’s only fitting that four years later, Elvis filmed the famous movie of the same name at The Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Spread across 22 acres are 2,860 guest rooms, shops, services, restaurants and bars, luau grounds, daily cultural activities, a world-class spa, 4DFX Cinema, and even an arcade.
If you like the conveniences offered by a large-scale resort but prefer a boutique hotel experience, you can get both by staying at the stylish, beachfront Ali’i Tower. It is Hilton Hawaiian Village’s “hotel within a hotel” and the most luxurious tower on the property.
