Pagoda Hotel (2 stars)

The Pagoda Hotel is celebrated locally and internationally for the value of its accommodations, its convenient location in the heart of Honolulu on the island of Oahu, and the spectacular Koi fish that inhabit the ponds which surround the award-wining Pagoda Floating Restaurant. A beautiful Japanese garden embraces the private teahouses and restaurant of the 360-room hotel. With a waterfall backdrop and its lush foliage, the garden is a relaxing and gorgeous setting for restaurant diners, special events, weddings and other gatherings, or for sitting back and quietly contemplating the vibrant aquatic life that inhabit the ponds.

Add in the convenient location in the heart of Honolulu on the island of Oahu, two blocks from Ala Moana Center and a hop, skip and a jump from Ala Moana Beach Park and you have a winner combination. Away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, the Pagoda Hotel offers economical rooms, including hotel rooms, studios and one and two bedroom suites.
