The Hawai`i Convention Center combines the modern requirements of a state-of-the-art meeting facility with the beauty, comfort and culture that are uniquely Hawai`i. Soaring forms and breathtaking space call to mind tropical palm trees and Polynesian sailing canoes. The design of the glass-front center represents the unique culture of Hawai`i, with its bold architecture, Hawaiian art collection, and features such as a rooftop tropical garden, glass-encased meeting rooms, and outdoor function spaces lined with giant palm trees.
The spirit of the Hawai`i Convention Center is the spirit of Aloha – welcoming and serving all who visit the Center with unconditional Aloha.
