honolulu green hotels

Oahu and the Hawaiian islands contain some of the world's most precious natural resources, so it's important to our boutique Honolulu hotel group that we be environmentally conscious. As we redesign many of our Waikiki Beach hotels, we will be instituting eco-friendly policies and procedures. As a participant in Waikiki's revitalization effort, we feel it's necessary to minimize impact on the environment with earth-friendly practices.
