During your Honolulu vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
U.S. Army Schofield Barracks
James Jones, author of From Here to Eternity, called Schofield Barracks "the most beautiful army post the U.S. has or ever had." The Honolulu Star Bulletin called it a country club. More than a million soldiers called Schofield Barracks home. With its broad, palm-lined boulevards and Art-Deco buildings, this old army cavalry post is still the largest operated by the U.S. Army outside the continental United States. And it's still one of the best places to be a soldier.The history of Schofield Barracks and the 25th Infantry Division is told in the small Tropic Lightning Museum,. Displays range from a 1917 bunker exhibit to a replica of Vietnam's infamous Cu Chi tunnels.
Bishop Museum Collection at the Hawaiian Arts & Culture Center at the Hilton Hawaiian Village
Now in Waikiki, this "mini" version of the Bishop Museum is just right for visitors who want to get an insider's view of Hawaiian culture but are pressed for time. Located in the Kalia Tower of the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa, the Bishop Museum at Kalia features cultural interpreters to walk you through the story of life in Waikiki from ancient times to today. Allow at least an hour (an hour and a half would be better). You can participate in a variety of interactive, hands-on-activities, like lei making, weaving cordage from coconut fibers, pounding kapa into cloth, learning the basic motions of the hula or trying your hand at playing a Hawaiian instrument like the pahu (shark skin drum), ohe hano ihu (nose flute), or uli uli (feathered gourd rattle). As you move from ancient times into the arrival of the missionaries, the royal monarchy, and into Waikiki of the 20th century (with great old surfing movies), you will be amazed at how time flies. Not to be missed!
Contemporary Museum
Set up on the slopes of Tantalus, one of Honolulu's upscale residential communities, the Contemporary Museum is renowned for its 3 acres of Asian gardens (with reflecting pools, sun-drenched terraces, views of Diamond Head, and stone benches for quiet contemplation). Its Cades Pavilion houses David Hockney's L'Enfant et les Sortileges, an environmental installation of his sets and costumes for Ravel's 1925 opera, and six galleries display significant works from the last 4 decades. Equally prominent is the presence of contemporary Hawaii artists in the museum's programs and exhibitions. Ask about the daily docent-led tours, and look for an excellent cafe and shop. Depending on your passion for art, you could spend an hour here to all day.
The Royal Garden at Waikiki
Looking for a quiet hotel, away from the crowds of Waikiki? This elegant boutique hotel, tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined side street, offers a different experience in elegant surroundings (the lobby is filled with European marble and chandeliers). The plush guest rooms feature pantry kitchenettes, marble bathrooms, lanais, lots of closet space, and views. The beach is a few blocks away, but at these prices, it's worth the hike.Facilities: 2 restaurants (country French, Japanese); 2 freshwater outdoor pools (1 with cascading waterfall); small fitness room; 2 Jacuzzis; 2 saunas; concierge; small business center; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; laundry service; dry cleaning; complimentary shuttle service to Honolulu shopping centers.
Ohana Waikiki Village
Deep in the heart of Ohana country (they seem to own Lewers St.) is another recommendable link in the chain. The Ohana Waikiki Village is less than 2 blocks from the beach and in the midst of Waikiki's restaurant, shopping, and nightlife scene. The Village is considered a moderate Ohana hotel: The rooms are small but cozy and recently received new bedspreads, curtains, carpet, and a fresh paint job. There are no in-room coffeemakers, but you can get your morning cup at the breakfast-only coffee shop. The pool sits in the middle of the open-air lobby, which makes for interesting people-watching as you work on your tan. There's an Internet connection in the lobby that will hook you up for $1 for 7 minutes. Families of three might consider the studio kitchenettes, as the hotel rooms sleep only two. Helpful hint: If you prefer a king bed, request one when reserving your room, as the hotel has a limited number of them.
Ingrid's
Ingrid has impeccable taste. She's decorated this cute one-bedroom apartment in modern Japanese style that could be straight out of a magazine. The pristine white walls and cabinets are accented with such dramatic touches as black tile counters, black-and-white shoji doors, and a black Oriental screen behind a king-size bed dressed in white quilts and red, red, red throw pillows. The tiled bathroom is done in complementary gray and has a luxurious soaking tub. The kitchenette even has a dishwasher. A huge tiled deck extends out from the apartment, while a small alcove off the bedroom can house a third person or serve as a reading nook. Fresh flowers are everywhere. The apartment is located upstairs, past the Japanese garden and through a private entrance.
