Aloha Tower was jammed a few years back, now it's mainly closed shops and a few restaurants: Hooters & Gordon Biersch. The last one has a great patio over looking the harbor & music some nights. There is validated parking. More

Sad to see so many empty store fronts. We did enjoy browsing there, and had lunch at a bar. Restaurants will validate your parking if you eat there (I think up to 3 hours). Usual type of Hawaiian clothing stores, and a good coffee store. It's worth a stop if you are in the area. I'm not sure why it's... More

My wife and I fought traffic to get over to the Aloha Tower Marketplace. We thought we'd wander through the shops and then eat somewhere there. Big surprise, the place is a ghost town. It seemed like at least half the storefronts were empty. Many of the rest looked like they were on the way out (literally - boxes stacked... More

It's so sad that such a wonderful place just seems to be jinxed except for a few lonely survivors. The place seems like a ghost town on the ewa side of the property. I bought something from the sundry store one night just to keep the clerk from falling asleep. More

but only the lower level had stores, the upper level seemed unoccupied which leant an empty feeling. The little elevator up to the observation platform is great- very glad we went, just hope they can entice more tenants to give it a livelier feeling. If there is a cruise ship in port, they are parked right up to the road-... More

Went when there was no cruise ship in so it might be different then. But the place was almost empty, over half the stores on the second level were for lease, prices were higher in the stores that were open, from even Waikiki, some stores were closing up at 3 pm More

The structure is a lovely place to spend time, if only the place had shops to visit instead of vacant spaces???? With a City full of tourists and ships docking nearby why would this place be empty? we walked over after visiting China Town and were really surprised. More
