Hanging purple orchids and the perfumes of plumeria, moonflower and jade vine surround you.
Parrots, red and blue macaws, exotic ducks, flamingos, swans (both black and white), crested cranes, and tropical penguins add their calls of greeting.
There is only one place this magical and you are here: the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa on Waikiki Beach, the ageless heart of Hawaii.
Everything you could possibly want is here. World-class restaurants, exotic shopping, pearlescent beaches, and a variety of entertainments in a tropical setting.
The hotel check-in area (you could hardly call it a lobby) is "outside." Soft breezes flow along with your view past the desk to palms, 10,000 square-foot Super Pool and lush island greenery. We are heralded with the famous "aloha spirit": an honest smile and warm Hawaiian greeting.
Our room is on the 27th floor of the new Kalia Tower, considered the business executive tower and the only one with a concierge. Our balcony opens to a wide expanse. Between the Ali`i Tower on the left and the Rainbow Tower on the right lies a tropical movie-set vision of the Village's Super Pool and the wide
expanse of beach and Pacific Ocean beyond. Below, the entire roof of one low building looks like a traditional Hawaiian quilt pattern.
Each tower has a different price range and theme. Paula Abdul and The Lakers have stayed in the Ali`i Tower. Elvis stayed there when it was called the Ocean Tower and threw 45s vinyls off the balcony to quiet the screaming women on the beach. The sides of the Rainbow Tower are the largest murals in the world: each rainbow mosaic contains more than 8,000 hand-painted and baked ceramic tiles. This is a commanding work of art that you can see from your plane as you fly in and out of Honolulu. Hawaiian legend holds that a rainbow is the path a god uses to come to earth, and more rainbows occur in Hawaii than anywhere else in the world. An appropriate theme for this amazing tile art.
