WHERE TO STAY: The Royal Hawaiian
Its signature pink exterior makes The Royal Hawaiian instantly recognizable on the shores of Waikiki Bay and has earned it the name “Pink Palace of the Pacific.” The luxurious rooms are a mix of modern amenities and charming local design details, creating an elegant home-away-from-home feeling for guests. 2259 Kalakaua Ave., royal-hawaiian.com.

WHERE TO STAY AND EAT: The Modern Honolulu
The hotel is a destination for design lovers, with its simple, streamlined interior and clean palette. Even if you don’t stay here, plan to dine at The Modern Honolulu’s restaurant, Morimoto Waikiki. The menu offers fresh Pacific seafood and blends the best of Hawaiian and Japanese cuisines. 1775 Ala Moana Blvd., themodernhonolulu.com.

WHERE TO EAT: Bogart's Cafe
In my opinion, the best breakfast on the island is about a 15-minute drive from the heart of Waikiki. Try the delicious açai bowl, topped with granola, berries and bananas. 3045 Monsarrat Ave., bogartscafe.webs.com.

Kalakaua Avenue is the place to shop in Honolulu. There’s something for everyone – from designer boutiques to kiosks offering traditional local crafts. And don’t leave without stopping by the Honolulu Cookie Company for one of its pineapple macadamia or white chocolate Kona coffee cookies.
