Ala Moana mall is open-air, tropical designed that merges modern architecture with koi ponds, and a window to the many high-end shops. 2 food courts, the one on the 2nd floor near Macy's seems slightly less crowded. I enjoyed the onsite live music, which highlights talented young performers. I recently caught "LoveJack", who played his cello. His booming, heartfelt music, vocals truly warmed the atmosphere.

We're talking a four-stories tall, open-air, commercial retail complex. My colleague and I decided to pop in after a delicious lunch to peruse some of their offerings. Kira x Miffy?

They have a food court area as well as other restaurants located throughout the venue. There are multiple areas to just sit and relax and take in the Hawaiian ambiance. They also offer validated parking as long as you spend a minimum amount, with more generous time allowance for locals (3 hr) with the same spend. If you're in Waikiki, definitely worth a stop by just to check it out, though maybe not worth the drive for locals unless meeting with friends or going for something specific.

The original IMP consisted of thatched-roof huts offering souvenirs, local crafts, and food. A major renovation in 2016 transformed the IMP into a contemporary shopping and dining destination while still respecitng its Hawaiian heritage. The banyan tree in the shopping center is really impressive. A banyan can reach a height up to 100 feet and spreads laterally indefinitely. Aerial roots that develop from its branches descend and take root in the soil to become new trunks. It's really a highlight of this mall to walk around this enormous tree. There are a huge number of well known stores here with something for everyone. We enjoyed the shopping but did not stay to eat here although there are a lot of options.

High end stores, high end restaurants and other great things like art exhibits. Now that I live in California, I do visit Oahu every two years. At the time when we came here in 2019, we went to a photography exhibit by National Geographic. Now this is something I enjoy. I think tourists could enjoy it too and bring in the modernized look for Waikiki. I have been on the fence about the traditional vendors over these overpriced high end stores. I look at it in a business perspective. Hawaii drives its economy through tourism. We are in the United States of America and you got major cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles and such. It's competing for more tourists to come to Hawaii. I hate to say this but Hawaii versus Miami? You got people with money that spend at high end stores. People now look at Waikiki like you're shopping on Rodeo Drive. Well if this is what attracts tourists - so be it to help the economy. It is a shame that it has to be this way to survive in this economy. The workers in Waikiki have pride in their job and make an honest living in an expensive state. I do miss the old International Marketplace. It was nice seeing vendors sell things.

Parking can be tough, and Uber is usually the easiest way to get around if you're hopping between spots. I've parked at the Honolulu Zoo before and walked everywhere I wanted to go, which works... until I get a little lazy and tired . I do wish they offered some kind of bike, scooter, or cart experience to make getting around easier. Full transparency: this review is coming from someone who isn't super fit, so walking can be tiring but despite that, I absolutely love the experience here. The nightlife is so fun, the live music is always a vibe, and I love the bubbles floating around at night. I enjoy wandering into shops to window shop (and sometimes actually buy things), and yes, I still smile every time I see a bunch of ABC Stores lined up. I fell in love with them when I first moved here. I don't come around as often anymore since I live on the west side of the island, but whenever I'm in the area, I really enjoy it. Walking around, taking pictures, seeing the beach, and just playing tourist never gets old.

Our hotel was situated on Lewers Street and I greatly enjoyed being on such a bustling street with good eats, high-end shopping, and lots of art & culture. They even have a free art gallery, frequent pop-ups of booths that sells local goods, and other fun and free entertainment. What really stood out to me was how easy it is to just wander here. No strict plan needed. One minute you're browsing locally made jewelry or handcrafted souvenirs, and the next you're drawn in by live music drifting through the open-air walkways. It feels lively without being overwhelming, like the perfect balance of energy and ease that Waikiki does so well. It also has that effortless day-to-night transition. During the day, it's bright, breezy, and great for a casual stroll or a quick bite between beach time. By evening, the whole area softens into something a little more magical: Music, people lingering longer, and the gentle breeze giving your nighttime stroll that movie magic. It's the kind of place where you say, "just one quick walk," and somehow end up staying for hours.
