Ilima Waikiki Hotel
Small
and intimate, decorated in grand island style, rich with rare koa wood,
etched glass, paintings and murals created from favourite Hawai'ian
legends, the Ilima Hotel is a friendly haven in the heart of Hawai'i.
The
hotel is situated out of the noise and bustle of Waikiki, but is still
only two blocks from the beach and one block from the International Market
Place and Royal Hawai'ian Shopping Centre.
With
only 99 units, all of condominium size, the Ilima offers personal touches
to make your holiday unique. For example, guests have free parking and
local phone calls.
Completely refurbished, the suites and studios have plush carpeting, designer rattan furnishings, colour TV with free HBO and Disney channels as well as six pay-for-view movie channels, radio and modern kitchens containing a microwave. Private Lana'is offer sweeping views of Waikiki.
The twelve executive suites have king size waveless waterbeds or mattresses, whirlpool baths, entertainment centres, large working desks, an extra phone and computer jack. The hotel also has laundry facilities and a conference room.
For sun lovers, there are two rooftop sundecks on which to relax with views of the lush green mountains or sparkling blue ocean and easy access to the heated freshwater pool, sauna and exercise room.
The Ala Wai canal, used
by graceful outrigger canoes practicing for weekend races is a popular
jogging path and the 18 hole Ala Wai public golf course is a short ride
away. There is fine dining in the hotel lobby restaurant and for those
seeking a little more excitement, the larger hotels, movie theatres,
restaurants and famous Waikiki nightlife are within walking distance.
Ilima's
staff, renowned for their personal attention, are happy to arrange
everything from tours of neighbouring islands to rental cars, airline
tickets or sightseeing from the Tour and Travel Desk.
Importantly, the Ilima Hotel clearly demonstrates that staying in Hawai'i, whether on business or vacation need not be pricey. Special packages are available for extended stays and seniors (55 and over) qualify for discounted rates.
