Popular Convention Centers
Known for its unique architectural design and breathtaking meeting space, the Hawaii Convention Center is the state's flagship civic exhibition center. Opened in 1998, the 1.1 million-square-foot center is conveniently located only 7.5 miles away from the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), and features more than 10,000 committable hotel rooms located within one mile. Planned for clarity and simplicity, the center dedicates one floor for each usage including exhibition space, parking facilities, meeting rooms and ballroom space.
The Hawaii Convention Center is not only flexible and functional, but it's also an exceptionally beautiful Honolulu meeting facility. The welcoming glass-front center, inspired by Hawaii's natural water features and native plants, resembles the shape of Polynesian sailing canoes. Designed to celebrate the Hawaiian culture and the natural environment, the center is home to a 2.5-acre rooftop tropical garden, glass-encased meeting rooms and outdoor function spaces lined with lush palm trees. The center's $2 million public art collection incorporates awe-inspiring original artwork and frescoes into the indoor space.
Guests can literally soak in the Hawaiian landscape and weather between meetings. More than 60 percent of the center is landscaped, including the lobby that features a 70-foot misting waterfall and mature palm trees. The outdoors are brought indoors, as all interior circulation space is open to the outdoors for natural light and ventilation. Not surprisingly, the center was voted the most beautiful convention center in the world by the International Association of Exhibition Management and is the winner of nine consecutive Prime Site Awards.
The center offers nearly 150,000 square feet of total meeting space, a 200,000-square-foot exhibition hall with drive-on floor access, 700 parking stalls, a 35,000-square-foot registration lobby, a 9,984-square-foot rooftop terrace and a 35,000-square-foot ballroom. This Honolulu event facility also boasts 47 meeting rooms, 10 executive meeting rooms, two theaters with tiered seating and a 20,000-square-foot production kitchen, one of the largest in the business. The center's kitchen staff is happy to design menus to accommodate varied tastes while still infusing a bit of Hawaiian flavor in each dish. A complete menu of culinary services ranging from catered meals and banquets to coffee and refreshment services is available.
The fully-wired Hawaii Convention Center is on the cutting edge of technology. The center offers connectivity to the Maui Super Computer, the 10th fastest in the world, and Internet access is available from anywhere in the center. Major meeting rooms are designed for a computer classroom set-up of 400 computers, and the two theaters feature high-tech audiovisual presentation capabilities. Press rooms can be equipped for global links to any country.
