Ala Moana Hotel ... Honolulu's Landmark Hotel 

Had a most enjoyable 2 night stay at the Ala Moana Hotel recently. 

The lobby is very spacious and one area has an outrigger canoe on display ...

I paid the kamaaina rate and was very lucky to be upgraded to an oceanfront suite!  
My room looked exactly like the photos above .. but with views of the ocean and Ala Moana Beach Park

There are many amenities at the hotel and here are a few... 

The big news coming up is the new restaurant on the 36th floor ... currently under complete renovation and opening in the first quarter of 2013.  It will be an affordable steak and seafood restaurant called Signature Prime Steak & Seafood.  Here's what it looked like last week.

Love this hotel for the convenience, great rates (money I saved on the room was spent at the mall), excellent restaurants and nice staff.

Final look at the view I enjoyed ...

BTW ... As you can probably tell ... some of the photos are provided courtesy of Ala Moana Hotel/Outrigger Hotels & Resorts and others I look with my Sony.

Mahalo to Nancy Daniels and Marty Milan!
