Graced with a garland of white sandy beaches woven along the waves of the majestic Pacific Ocean, Honolulu is a spellbinding vacation and business hot spot drenched in the aloha spirit.
Surrounded by verdant mountains and a protected harbor, Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii, the most secluded archipelago on earth. Renowned for its surf and sunshine, Honolulu is the largest city on Oahu, one of the six islands that constitute the state of Hawaii.
Downtown Honolulu is the business core of the island, which has a reputation as the high-tech center of the Pacific. Its location between Asia and the U.S. makes Oahu a technological hotbed for advances at the both ends of the world.
The cuisine here is a delicious mix of East meets West. Hawaii Regional Cuisine, a cutting edge culinary trend, incorporates the flavors and cooking styles of the immigrant cultures - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese - as well as food traditions imported from California and France. Ingredients are those found on the island, including freshly-caught fish, purple potatoes, baby greens, golden pineapples, Macadamia nuts, and Hawaiian-grown chocolate and coffee.
