base of the Oahu's most famous landmark, offers an exceptional island
lifestyle. Kapiolani Park, public beach parks including Queens Surf and Sans
Souci Beach, the Waikiki Shell and resort hotels are all within walking
distance.

Fitzgerald to Basia, many of them performing with the Honolulu Symphony under
the Hawaiian star lit skies. Kapiolani Park is the scene for the finish line of
The Honolulu Marathon, an annual event attracting thousands of runners to Oahu.
