The Neighborhood

Waikiki Banyan provides a great opportunity for visitors to engage in downtown Waikiki nightlife and culture, with surrounding restaurants like Rarea Marriott Lounge, Arancino di Marea, Sensei Seafood Restaurant & Sushi Bar, O'ahu Mexican Grill, and Cheeseburger in Paradise just down the street from the building. Likewise, across the street on the corner of Kuhio Avenue and 'Ohua Avenue is an ABC Store, which provides fun tourist gifts and trinkets as well as vacation staples like sunscreen, water and snacks, and other daily necessities.

One of the most notable aspects of Waikiki Banyan's location is its proximity to Waikiki Beach, which is less than a 5-minute walk away from the residence. Arguably the most popular and well-known beach in Hawai'i, Waikiki Beach is an immensely popular spot for surfing, swimming, sunbathing, spending time with friends and family, eating, and more. There are shaded cabanas for those who need a break from the intense Hawaiian sun, and there are vendors stationed around the street selling various snacks and drinks. Not to mention, the entirety of Kalakaua Avenue along Waikiki Beach is stationed with restaurants, cafés, and stores, which means visitors can easily take a break from the beach and grab something to eat or drink.

Kalakaua Avenue is also known for its wide array of shopping spots, as it is the main shopping strip in Waikiki. Kalakaua Avenue hosts a variety of designer stores, fast-fashion stores, and more, making it one of the most consistently crowded areas in Waikiki.

For those who are not interested in the extremely crowded daily nature of this street and general area, other outdoor activities are found as close as just down Kuhio Avenue. These include the Honolulu Zoo, Kapi'olani Regional Park, and the Diamond Head Crater Hike, which are a 3-, 4-, and 12-minute drive away from Waikiki Banyan respectively (or just a 7-minute walk to the Honolulu Zoo and a 10-minute walk to Kapi'olani Regional Park).
