Ala Moana Hotel

The Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra is a large, mid-range hotel conveniently located between Downtown Honolulu and world-famous Waikiki Beach. Just across the street from Ala Moana Beach Park and only a five minute walk from the Hawai’i Convention Center, this landmark hotel offers direct access to the world’s largest open-air shopping mall, and is a popular choice with both business and leisure travelers.

Each of the hotel’s more than 1000 rooms and suites (housed across two towers: Kona and Waikiki) is decorated in a bright, contemporary style and equipped with coffeemaker, microwave, refrigerator and complimentary high speed internet access. Some of the rooms offer views of the ocean, others look out over the city or the mountains. But if you’re not lucky enough to be staying in a room with a view, then book a meal at the hotel’s top floor steak and seafood restaurant for top notch cuisine and unforgettable vistas.

Opened in 1970, the Ala Moana recently underwent a series of upgrades to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary. As well as updating the guest rooms, the hotel’s lobby, Porte Cochère and pool deck have all received a thoroughly modern refresh as part of the multimillion dollar facelift.

Onsite facilities here include a Starbucks lounge (also serving alcoholic beverages in the evening), fitness center with gym, sauna and steam room, and almost 15,000 square feet of conference space. But perhaps the hotel’s biggest draw is its aforementioned 36th floor restaurant. Popular with islanders and tourists, as well as guests of the hotel, The Signature Prime Steak & Seafood is renowned for its perfectly aged prime grade steaks, hand crafted cocktails and unparalleled service. If the mouthwatering menu isn’t enough to get you excited, the breathtaking 300 degree sunset panoramas surely will be!

So whether you’re traveling for business or vacationing with friends and family, the Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra offers a centrally-located affordable home from home with modern amenities and an air of casual sophistication…
