3. Los Angeles
The nation's second-largest city
(after New York), Los Angeles is a
great place in which to do business
or take a vacation. Los Angeles'
marvellous restaurants, terrific
nightlife, sunny beaches, diverse
cultural offerings, amusement parks
and easygoing attitudes converge
in a vast Southern California
landscape flooded with sunshine
and lined with palms. Visitors should
see Los Angeles at least once,
though a single visit will hardly be
enough to appreciate such a large
area jam-packed with Southern
California attractions.
Sights—Back lots and soundstages at Warner Bros. and Universal Studios; billboards
and clubs on Sunset Strip; the mansions of Beverly Hills; people-watching on Santa
Monica's Third Street Promenade and the Pier; surfers at Malibu Beach; the gardens
and art collection at Huntington Library.
Museums—European paintings, sculpture, photography and architecture at the
Getty Centre or antiquities at the Getty Villa; Asian, European and American art and
the Broad Contemporary Art Museum at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art;
modern art and contemporary exhibits at the Museum of Contemporary Art
(including the Geffen Contemporary); the Degas ballet sculptures at the Norton
Simon Museum; television and radio archives at The Paley Centre for Media.
Walks—Los Angeles Conservancy walking tours of downtown; hiking the Backbone
Trail or in Franklin Canyon Park; a stroll through the Huntington Library's Botanical
Gardens; meandering along the Venice boardwalk; seeing the stars on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Grauman's Chinese Theatre.
4. Ramada Plaza West Hollywood 13-16 September 2012
Located smack-dab in the heart of West Hollywood's Boys Town, and close to nightlife and
Beverly Center, this is a middle-grade hotel with a bit of self-conscious style to complement the
avant-garde neighborhood. (This hotel lies at the center of the world's largest Halloween street
party.)
Because of its low rates, unpretentious ambience and short drive or taxi ride to Sunset Strip,
many folks choose this hotel over the more expensive Grafton and the raucous Standard.
The lobby is surprisingly chic, with gold and black accents contrasting with the candy-color
sculpture just outside.
A glass wall separates the lobby bar, which features two laptops on the counter for Internet
surfing. Du-par's coffee shop, a Los Angeles fixture, has a branch here fronting the street and
offers all-day dining, with breakfast at any hour. The hotel also offers a burger place, and
Jamba Juice and Starbucks outlets next door.The small revamped pool enlivens the second-
floor terrace and offers complimentary wireless Internet access. Guests can use the first-rate
sports club across the street for a fee.
The well-kept accommodations are large and bright, combining pop-art posters and louvered
shutters with a mix of black and white fabrics and furniture. Average-sized standard rooms
have double or queen beds, safes, coffeemakers, hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, and
Web TV.
Most guests will do better paying the nominal increase for so-called Executive Suites, as these
are larger studios equipped with wet bars, microwave ovens and refrigerators. For a few more
dollars, guests can move up to a bi-level Loft Suite with two TVs, a wet bar, a king bed, a
dressing area, and a bath with a phone. A few rooms overlook the pool in back, but front
rooms offer the best people-watching—and the most noise.
Room service stops at 10:30.
This postmodern hotel draws much business from the thriving gay community around it—a real
eye-opener for budgeting families seeking a Hollywood address. The Ramada sign above the
entrance to the hotel is an honest indicator of what one should expect here: "Clean,
comfortable, economical."
5. Hollywood Heights Hotel 13-16 September 2012
Located by the Hollywood
Hills, the Hollywood Heights
Hotel is within blocks of the
Hollywood Bowl and
Hollywood & Highland
Center, which includes the
Kodak Theater and
Grauman's Chinese Theater.
The Los Angeles hotel is 2 mi
(3.5 km) from the Sunset Strip
and 4 mi (6 km) from Beverly
Hills.
Hollywood Heights features Classic Hollywood
photos adorn the walls of the lobby, which is
furnished in mid-century style befitting the hotel's
location. Bordered by the lush hillside are the
outdoor pool and spa tub and inside is a 24-hour
fitness center. The Hollywood Heights Hotel also
offers a casual restaurant with lounge. Business
amenities at this 3.0-star hotel include a business
center, complimentary wireless Internet access,
and 2 meeting rooms. This is a smoke-free
property.
6. ANdAZ West Hollywood 13-16 September 2012
Entering the hotel, guests get an immediate sense there's something different here. Case in
point: earpiece-wearing security guards and digital-tablet-clad hostesses, who facilitate the
unique check-in process. Rather than a lining up at a traditional reception area, hosts seat
guests in the loungelike lobby space while information is retrieved and keys are issued. There's
even the option to just pull up and unload your bags before zipping off to a business meeting.
The concept is free-form and modern, but can be confusing to guests not immediately in-the-
know, especially if they manage to make it inside without first connecting with an associate.
Directly off the lobby is the sexy RH restaurant, whose initials are a homage to the hotel's wild
past. (Back in the '70s, bands like Led Zeppelin were rumored to have ridden motorcycles
through the hallways of the "Riot House;" now you're more likely to find rock star exploits
chronicled there in a coffee table book, rather than witness them in person.)
The 24-hour fitness center features an array of cardio equipment, plus yoga mats and Life
Fitness resistance-testing machines. The view out onto Sunset Boulevard is a big plus. Up on the
roof, the heated panoramic pool is small but charming and surrounded by chaises. Out front,
instead of rental cabanas, there are sun-facing shelled daybeds available on a first-come, first-
served basis. The full menu from RH can be delivered upstairs as well, but the area is only open
from dawn till dusk.
Access to the guest rooms is provided via secured elevator or a centrally located staircase to
the second floor. Hallways are gray and dimly lit, with room numbers illuminated only below
eye level. Each room faces either the Strip or the Hollywood Hills. Select rooms offer sunroom-
style set-ups and sitting areas, but there are no patios. Younger and first-time visitors will likely
enjoy the action out front, while older guests and businesspeople tend to like the greenery and
quiet afforded by rooms in back, which are also less expensive.
In short, the hotel is conceptually interesting and should have no trouble attracting twenty- and
thirtysomethings used to the eccentricities of boutique properties.

8. Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara, California, is all about the
outdoors. The weather is comfortable year-
round, and visitors as well as residents can
ride bikes, walk along the beach or take lazy
drives into the hills or through the outlying
vineyards.
Located north of Los Angeles, Santa Barbara
has been a celebrity hideaway since the early
1900s, with the carefree attitude and architecture of a Mediterranean town and a sunny,
Californian disposition. As you bicycle along the Santa Barbara waterfront, you'll see why
this seaside city is a special place. Clear, blue skies shine over golden beaches, and the Santa
Ynez Mountains loom over the city's signature white-stucco buildings with red-tile roofs.
Joggers smile, beach volleyball players wave, and brown pelicans flap their wings
methodically as they fly overhead.
In addition to its picturesque waterfront and abundant attractions, including the well-known
Santa Barbara mission, the city offers museums, trendy restaurants and boutiques. But
there's plenty more to see and do in the area. Montecito to the east is the place for
exclusive shopping—it's often compared to L.A.'s Rodeo Drive. To the west is the lively
campus of the University of California at Santa Barbara. To the north are Santa Maria and
the Santa Ynez Valley, where you'll find dozens of wineries as well as the old-time Danish
town of Solvang.
Sights—Stearns Wharf; Santa Barbara County Courthouse; Old Mission Santa Barbara.
Museums—Santa Barbara Museum of Art; the Maritime Museum; the Museum of Natural
History; Santa Barbara Historical Museum; Karpeles Manuscript Library and Museum; the
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden.
Memorable Meals—The avocado and crab omelette at Sambo's; clam chowder at Brophy
Brothers; fish tacos at Shoreline Beach Cafe.
Late Night—The bars and clubs along lower State Street; live music at SOhO Restaurant &
Music Club; Cava in Montecito.
Walks—To the end of Stearns Wharf and back; along the waterfront between the harbor
and Montecito.
9. Holiday Inn Express Santa Barbara 16 September 2012
Classic touches of California Spanish
Revival add to the historic feel of the
Holiday Inn Express® Hotel Santa
Barbara. The hotel's historic property,
also known as the Hotel Virginia and
built in 1917, features Malibu and
Catalina tile-work, exposed brick walls
and wrought-iron railings, all in a
convenient downtown location.
With the hotel's location in Santa
Barbara, the sights and sounds of the
city are just steps away. Quietly
charming, Santa Barbara boasts
stunning Spanish architecture at sites
like the Santa Barbara Courthouse. The beach
and Stearns Wharf are only a few blocks from
the hotel, while the Santa Barbara Zoo is about
two miles away. Don't miss a chance to see the
Santa Barbara Mission, known as the "Queen of
the Missions."
Modern conveniences merge with historical touches to create a unique feel, and Santa Barbara
vacations are made easy with amenities like the daily, free Express Start Breakfast Bar and free
access to Spectrum Gym. Room service is available from Mesa Cafe from 11am to 9pm, and the
second-level balcony entices guests to relax while enjoying spectacular views of the city.
10. San Simeon
Few places in the U.S. are as opulent as the Hearst Castle, which publisher William Randolph Hearst
built in 1919 in the hills above San Simeon, California (located 160 mi/250 km southeast of San
Francisco). Outfitted with imported treasures from around the world (ancient Greek vases, Italian
tapestries,
Oriental
carpets), the
palatial
mansion and
grounds
became—and
still are—
symbols for
ostentation.
In fact, Hearst
Castle was the
model for the
mansion
Xanadu in
Orson Welles'
movie Citizen
Kane, which is
a thinly veiled
portrait of Hearst. This is one of the few places in the world that might render Lifestyles of the Rich
and Famous host Robin Leach speechless.
Only in recent years has the estate's architect, Julia Morgan, begun to receive her due as a pioneer in
a field previously reserved for men. She worked for Hearst for 27 years, continually adapting the
building to fit his ever-changing wishes. (Morgan reportedly even designed the ceilings to be
adjustable in the event he wanted them higher or lower.) It could be argued that Hearst's robber-
baron tastes occasionally nudged the architect's hand a little too much. Witness, for example, the
outdoor Neptune Pool, a pseudo-Greco-Roman folly that is the very definition of gaudy.
There are four separate tours, each focusing on a different part of the grounds. But be advised that
the privilege does not come cheap: Tours cost upwards of US$30 each. Seeing all four tours in one
day is best left to those with the hardiest constitutions. If you can settle for less, Tour 1 is the best
option. Make reservations well in advance; many visitors arrive without them and are dismayed to
be turned away at the gates.
If you're willing to pay slightly more and are in the area at the proper time (Friday and Saturday
nights September-December and March-May), you can see the castle on an evening tour. Docents in
1930s clothing pretend to be the guests and staff at one of Hearst's cocktail parties. Those on the
tour can wander through the elaborate rooms as the actors sip martinis, work on puzzles and
socialize in grand fashion.
Those who don't want to spring for any of the tours can wander the museum at the base of the hill
for no charge.
11. Cambria Pines Lodge 17 September 2012
Cambria Pines lodge is a 15 minute drive
from Hearst Castle and 1.5 miles from Nitt
Witt Ridge. A day spa with body treatments,
a restaurant and country-styled rooms are
available.
Guest rooms at Cambria Pines Lodge provide
satellite TV with pay-per-view movies. Select
rooms include a microwave, refrigerator and
fireplace.
The casual restaurant at the Pine Lodge
Cambria offers indoor and outdoor seating.
Organic produce is served along with award
winning wines.
Guests can take a self guided tour of Cambria
or visit Piedras Blancas Elephant Seal Rookery,
6.4 miles away. Morro Bay State Park is 21.3
miles away.
Lodge offers rustic cabins and fireplace suites,
modern amenities; situated on 25 acres of
Monterey Pines with themed gardens.
12. Monterey
Central California's Monterey Bay Peninsula offers some of the most dramatic visual wonders in the
world. The winding Monterey coastline varies from wooded, rugged and rocky to fishing piers,
crashing surf and white sandy beaches. Sea life is abundant. It is not uncommon to see playful sea
otters, harbor seals, barking sea lions
and pods of migrating whales in the
Pacific Ocean's blue waters.
Although most of the Monterey
Peninsula's towns have succumbed to
tourism in one way or another, nature
is still a priority for many of the
residents, and some of them are
devoted to protecting the area from
overdevelopment. From Santa Cruz—
the original surf city—on the north end
of Monterey Bay, to the cozy village of
Carmel on the south end, each of the
bay's oceanside enclaves has its own
personality.
Two communities sit on the north end
of the bay: Capitola and Moss Landing,
an old whaling village. Monterey, the largest bay town, is located in the center of the peninsula and
has three different areas to tour: Monterey State Historic Park with its historic adobe buildings,
Cannery Row and Fisherman's Wharf.
Cannery Row is worth a day of
exploration. You won't find much
resemblance to Steinbeck's description of
the area in his 1945 novel of the same
name, but you will find many candy
shops, T-shirt stores, restaurants, small
beaches and the wonderful Monterey
Bay Aquarium, which houses some 550
different species.
Pacific Grove prides itself on being
America's last home town as well as
Butterfly Town USA, where millions of
orange-and-black monarch butterflies overwinter each year. The gated community of Pebble Beach
is known worldwide for its golf courses and its 17-mi/27-km drive of spectacular ocean views.
Charming Carmel-by-the Sea is a village full of art galleries, boutiques and small shops that attract
beach lovers and retired movie stars.
The Monterey Bay Peninsula's fairly constant 65 F/18 C temperature and more than 200 annual
special events make the area a popular destination. Author Robert Louis Stevenson rightly called the
peninsula's Point Lobos State Reserve "the greatest meeting of land and water in the world."
13. Hyatt Regency 18 September 2012
Located 2 miles east of the beach on Del Monte Golf Course, this upscale commercial resort touts its
greenside location by providing access to golf at half the price of the Pebble Beach options.
The renovation completed a couple of
years ago is holding up well, its sleek
contemporary lines looking as new as the
day they were cast. The hotel's trendy
new look is popping up in all of its siblings
around the globe. Thanks to the recent
makeover and the superlative staff, this
remains Monterey's most comprehensive
resort and meeting venue for large
groups.
Common areas cluster tightly around the
restyled lobby, which captures a sleek
contemporary look straight off the cover
of Modern Living. The custom seating and
modern art provide a surprisingly residential feel.
The former Cafe Monterey, now Fireplace Lounge, has been transformed into a hip new hangout
that is part cafe, part social center. Moody music and mood lighting set the tone of the place
throughout the day.The stylish new dining room, TusCa, is a study in Milanese design, with sleek
custom seating, theatrical lighting and an exhibition kitchen. Like its moniker, the food fuses Tuscan
and Californian fare with eye-catching results. The wine list is excellent.
Recreational facilities include two pools, whirlpools, six
tennis courts that charge fees, and a health center with
exercise bikes and tanning beds. The new 12,000-sq-ft
spa is a feather in this hotel’s cap, rounding out the
facilities that have been a little too commercial-heavy
over the past decade. A long roster of heath and beauty
treatments is at the ready.
The hotel can host gatherings of up to 1,000 people in
two revamped ballrooms and more than two dozen
meeting rooms, all equipped with wireless Internet
access. Free parking is a big perk.
Because of the sprawl here, guests with their own golf carts have an advantage; accommodations
are spread out in seven wings. All of the rooms have been renovated over the past few years, each
appointed in trim contemporary style with new plasma-screen TVs, pillow-top Grand beds and new
refrigerators. The rooms' muted earth-tone decor and angular modern furniture will win no awards
for innovation, but the smart sassy style is universally attractive. Amenities include paired phones
with voice mail, data ports, Internet access (for a fee) and coffeemakers.
14. San Francisco
San Francisco, California, is a world-class destination, a favorite of international travelers and
domestic tourists alike. An unmatched spectrum of dining experiences, first-class cultural events,
exceptional scenery and a pleasant climate combine for an enjoyable visit. Tourism is its prime
industry, and the city has a thriving convention business that keeps its hotels and restaurants busy
throughout the year.
You'll find San
Francisco one of
the world's most
scenic cities—it's
all the images
and ideas come
to life: the
Golden Gate
Bridge, cable
cars, Chinatown,
pastel Victorian
houses, steep
hills,
extraordinary
restaurants,
earthquakes. See
the white-
capped waters of
San Francisco
Bay, eat crab cakes along Fisherman's Wharf, attend a game with one of the Bay Area teams—the
49ers or the Giants. The roller-coaster landscape of hilly streets, the diverse population and the
spectacular setting on San Francisco Bay charm visitors from all over the world.
Sights—The Golden Gate Bridge; a cable-car ride over Nob Hill; Golden Gate Park; Fisherman's
Wharf; a ferry ride to Sausalito; the postcard row of Victorians at Alamo Square; farmers market and
gourmet goods at the Ferry Building; Lombard Street, the crookedest street in the U.S.
Museums—The Asian Art Museum; the Legion of Honor; the de Young Museum; San Francisco Art
Institute; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD);
Seymour Pioneer Museum; the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.
Late Night—Cocktails and film noir at Lone Palm; Beach Blanket Babylon at Club Fugazi; jazz at the
Cafe du Nord; dancing at Harry Denton's Starlight Room atop the Sir Francis Drake Hotel; a late-night
bite at the Globe.
Walks—Walking in Golden Gate Park; hiking across the Golden Gate Bridge; strolling anywhere along
the 10-mi/15-km coastline from the Embarcadero through the Golden Gate Promenade (in the
Presidio); shopping around Union Square; exploring the smaller streets and alleys of Chinatown;
climbing a garden-lined stairway to Coit Tower.information on evening dance performances, inquire
at your hotel or the tourist office on the main road.
15. San Francisco Stay Option 1:
The Handlery Union Square 19-22 September 2012
Located at Union Square, the Handlery
Union Square Hotel offers the perfect San
Francisco lodging for vacationers and
business travelers. As a family-owned hotel,
it creates great experiences for guests by
offering personal service, comfortable
rooms, and a warm atmosphere. Ideally
located near main San Francisco
attractions, including the world famous
cable car right at our corner, the
Handlery Union Square Hotel sets the
standard in affordable luxury.
16. San Francisco Stay Option 2:
The Chancellor Hotel on Union Square 19-22 September 2012
In a superb location facing the cable-car tracks and Beefeaters stationed in
front of the Sir Francis Drake, a half-block north of Union Square but with
great views of it from upper floors, this hotel continues to move up the
ladder of success, thanks in part to continued renovations.
While the Chancellor provides no real competition to the Sir Francis Drake,
it is a standout midrange tourist destination that has earned its reputation
as bona fide bargain. For the location, service and quality of the
accommodations, this place is very fairly priced. It has been family-owned
since 1914, and service is the highlight.
Besides the small lounge adjoining the reception area, the hotel has a
casual cafe serving a bland all-
American breakfast and lunch
buffets at moderate prices.
The tour desk, gift shop and
ATM located beside the entrance get lots of use.
Recreational facilities are lacking, but unlike some far superior
hotels without their own gym or health facilities, this hotel
provides guests with free passes to a local facility, including one
with a pool and whirlpool. This is a very thoughtful perk. The in-
room massages are also a nice touch.
Unlike the plodding elevators usual in older hotels, the one here zips upward. The refurbished guest rooms
show an attractive blend of modern and traditional accents, with bold contemporary color schemes in rust,
gold, green and blue. Added improvements include attractive window treatments, new beds, thoughtful lamp
lighting and complimentary wireless Internet access.
Small safes (too small for laptops), irons and ironing boards and decent storage space with extra bedding are
standard. All have small corner sitting areas. The baths vary in size from small to spacious. New flat-screen TVs,
phones with data ports and voice mail, and hair dryers are also available.
Many units, particularly those ending in -02 to -05, have good views of Union Square or the bay. The suites are
large and bright.
The cooperative staff aims to please at this refuge for frugal shoppers and frugal commercial and leisure folk.
Thanks to renovations and consistent service, this hotel remains one of the best in its class.
17. Honolulu
Visitors to Honolulu may hear that, because it's Hawaii's largest city, it is less "Hawaiian" than the
rest of the state. The high-rise office buildings and traffic of Honolulu don't match people's romantic
ideal of what Hawaii should be—remote, palm-fringed beaches and lavish resorts.
In truth, Honolulu is probably
the most Hawaiian part of the
state, because it best reflects
the different things that Hawaii
can be. Honolulu attractions
include a multicultural mix of
people, a beautiful landscape
of greenery and ocean, and a
place where amazing events
have unfolded—many of them
recounted in Honolulu's historic
sites and museums.
All that's exciting about big-city
life—theater, opera, museums,
shopping, nightclubs, fine
dining—is set against
Honolulu's backdrop of majestic
mountains, lush rain forests and
sweeping vistas.
And, with Waikiki along one edge of the city, travelers to Honolulu even have a beach resort. Waikiki
remains Hawaii's busiest tourist spot and makes a good departure point for exploring Honolulu's
recreation possibilities. Active travelers can ramble across pastureland and ancient religious shrines,
swim with the green sea turtles off Waikiki Beach and surf past Diamond Head.
Honolulu activities also include hiking a coastline trail, watching for humpback whales, renting
kayaks at Kailua Beach Park or playing a round of golf at a variety of public and resort golf courses.
Honolulu visitors should take advantage of the city's busyness but also enjoy the quieter spaces.
Sights—USS Arizona Memorial; Waikiki Beach; Polynesian Cultural Center; National Memorial
Cemetery of the Pacific; watching the sunset from one of the hotel lounges fronting the ocean.
Museums—Lolani Palace; Bishop Museum; Honolulu Academy of Arts; The Contemporary Museum.
Late Night—Musical comedy by the Society of Seven; dancing at Rumors nightclub; mingling with
local hipsters at the Mai Tai Bar.
Walks—Hiking through rain forest and bamboo groves at the Hawaii Nature Center; climbing to the
top of Diamond Head; strolling among the noodle shops and street vendors of Chinatown; hiking the
trail at Makapuu Point Lighthouse.
18. Honolulu Stay Option 1:
Aqua Waikiki Wave 22-24 September 2012
Located in the heart of central Waikiki, adjacent to
International Marketplace, two blocks south of its smaller
and less engaging sibling, Aqua Bamboo, and two short
blocks from the beach, this remains one of Aqua's best, a
full-service hotels with stylish contemporary
accommodations and a variety of on-site dining.
The lobby is a clean-cut contemporary room with an eager
youthful staff that works hard to please. Hybrid tropical
furnishings lend a pinch of retro-elegance in the limited
public areas. Nostalgic paintings of Waikiki's pioneer surfer, Duke Kahanamoku, highlight the hotel's
marginal wave theme, while bright contrasting sea hues soften the angular modern lines.
Two independent restaurants cook up menus featuring well-priced regional and Cantonese fare. The
Big Kahuna is a lively Hawaiian-style diner and sports bar that bolsters Waikiki's proud self-image as
a burgeoning cosmopolitan urban center. It also now
offers breakfast. Located just beyond the reception
desk, China Garden offers a modern take on the
usual Sweet and Sour Pork and Won Ton Soup. Both
outlets are open for lunch and dinner.
The bar at The Big Kahuna closes at midnight on
most nights. Every Wednesday the hotel hosts a
manager's reception with DJs, beverages and snacks from 4:30 pm until dark.
*Deluxe rooms are on higher floors with views over Waikiki
19. Honolulu Stay Option 2:
Miramar at Waikiki 22-24 September 2012
Adjacent to the vibrant International
Marketplace and only steps from famed
Waikiki Beach, this Honolulu hotel offers
easy access to attractions and activities
along with comfortable accommodations
and on-site dining.
The Miramar at Waikiki features an ideal
location in the heart of the city. With
nearby public transportation, Pearl Harbor,
Diamond Head and much more are only
moments away. The Honolulu Zoo and the
Ala Moana Shopping Center are also
nearby.
Guests staying at the Waikiki
Miramar can enjoy 4 different on-
site dining options, including
Chinese, Korean and American
cuisine. The hotel also boasts
several on-site bars as well as a
spacious outdoor swimming pool
and on-site tour desk services.
Accommodations at the Miramar feature private lanais,
offering views of the city, the ocean or the stunning
mountains. Guests will also appreciate in-room mini-
refrigerators as well as coffeemakers.
20. Honolulu Stay Option 3:
Outrigger Waikiki Shore 22-24 September 2012
Outrigger Waikiki Shore is distinct
among Waikiki vacation rentals.
It’s the only condo on Waikiki
Beach! Many of this condo’s
spacious Waikiki suites offer
stunning ocean views that span
from iconic Diamond Head to
Oahu’s western coast.
Enjoy neighboring Waikiki Beach Walk, Waikiki’s hip
spot for dining and entertainment. This Waikiki condo
adjoins Outrigger Reef on the Beach hotel with
beachfront Shore Bird Restaurant and Kani Ka Pila
Grille’s nightly Hawaiian slack-key guitar performances.
A superb vacation rental
alternative to Waikiki hotels,
Outrigger Waikiki Shore makes
living on the beach pure
paradise.
