tease and tantalize visitors in the beautifully landscaped
terraced pockets and garden spaces making up the site. Mostly
native plants and flowers have been used to enhance the natural
landscaping of the Hawaii Convention Center on Oahu.
One can easily spot it during a drive down the Kalakaua Avenue
and Kapiolani Boulevard that border it on two sides if one looks
out for the imposing bronze satue at the front of the Hawaii
Convention Center, which marks a hospitable welcome by the
locals for all foreigners; it is on a canal, known as Ala Wai.
It is also referred to as HCC sometimes, and lies about 15 miles
southeast to Honolulu International Airport.
From the cultural point of view, the Hawaii Convention Center's
no less significant (as it is architecturally beautiful and
promising site for business and social meetings, going by the
earlier information). This can be gleaned from the numerous
natural landscapes captured in oil and watercolors, adoring the
walls of the many convention rooms and galleries inside the
center. The central themes of most of the paintings are
volcanoes, mountains, the rich blue Hawaiian ocean; the manifold
geographical and mythological beauties of the Big Island's
waterfalls, fish ponds, taro, local deities and native royalty
make up other subjects of wall art.
An eclectic approach to aesthetic architectural detail in the
Hawaii Convention Center can be noted in the unmistakable
loyalty to local Hawaiian motifs such as the Polynesian sailing
canoes that have been incorporated into the rooftop design of
the building, giving it a soaring above the waters, open-to-sky
look through various canopies these have been used to support.
The HCC provides ample exhibition space with convenient drive on
floor entry besides advanced, hi-tech data and voice
connectivity for those organizing shows, meetings, conferences,
so there's natural as well as architectural beauty, modern
comfort and rich cultural heritage of Hawaii besides convention
facilities of international standards - all awaiting you at the
all-events friendly HCC!
