If you're going to be in Oahu, Hawaii,
stopping at the Aloha Tower should be on your "must see" list. If
you're entering by the Honolulu Harbor, you're probably going to
notice it whether you want to or not. At ten stories tall, it was the
tallest building on the island for a long time. It was originally
built in 1926 as a way to epitomize the hospitality of Hawaii,
greeting visitors to the island and allowing them a spectacular 360
degree view of Honolulu Harbor.
The word Aloha (which means both hello and
|
goodbye
locally) is emblazoned above the large clock near the top of the tower
for everyone to see. Even if you don't take a trip to the top of the tower
(an elevator is available), there are a lot of shops and stalls around
the tower, giving it a friendly marketplace atmosphere. With a mix of
shopping and fine dining and a blending of the past and the future,
Aloha Tower Marketplace is a great way to experience the beauty of
Honolulu Harbor, whether you're arriving or leaving.
Whether it's your first stop in Hawaii or you spend your final
bittersweet hours there before leaving, Aloha Tower is all about
showing visitors and tourists what Hawaiian hospitality really means.
From the breathtakingly beautiful views of the harbor to the good food
and pleasant shopping experience, Aloha Tower Marketplace has
something interesting and fun for everyone. If you're nearby, you
don't want to miss it.
