Kalākaua Avenue

Alongside this, there are a number of restaurants and luxury international fashion brands stores, as well as multiple shopping malls.

The avenue was firstly called Waikiki Road, and was named after King Kalākaua, the last male monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom in 1905.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the subsequent construction boom of high-rise buildings culminated in the establishment of large hotel chains.

From 1994 to 2004, the city invested 100 million US-dollars into landscaping, the construction of new sidewalks, footpaths, squares, historic street lamps and benches.
