ʻIlima Hotel is named after the native flower of Oʻahu, and a stay here guarantees an authentic Hawaiian experience. The hotel lobby is decorated with Koa wood and artwork from famous Hawaiian artist Ralph Kagehiro. Its located close to Ala Wai Canal, within a block of International Market Place for shopping and 10 minutes to Waikīkī Beach on foot.

Book a spacious, home-away-from-home Studio, 1 or 2 Bedroom Suite or a 3 Bedroom Penthouse. All accommodations are stylishly decorated and functional, featuring large balconies, flat screen TV, kitchenette and high speed WiFi for connectivity.

When it comes to shopping, International Market Place with exclusive boutiques, specialty shops, dining and cultural entertainment is just a block away. Dukes Lane Market (2 minutes walk) sells gourmet coffee, spitfire rotisserie, gelato, deli produce and wine – perfect for in-room dining and poolside snacks.

Dine at the fabulous Marukame Udon (Japanese noodles), sample fresh seafood at Paia Fish Market, feast on healthy bites and juices at ALOH Health Bar & Café or sip cocktails at Honolulu Tavern next door.

Make a splash in the cozy outdoor pool, work out in the fitness room or enjoy reading a good book on the sundeck. On Wednesday mornings, join in with kukui nut lei making classes or singalong with the ʻIlima Chorus on Friday mornings.

Highlights include the many cultural activities available both in the hotel and at International Market Place (lei making, fitness classes, live music, stargazing). They give insight into local culture and traditions, allowing guests to make new friends and enjoy an immersive Oʻahu stay.
