Honolulu is the capital as well as the most populous community of the State of Hawaii, United States. Honolulu has a population of about 380,000, but the county (essentially, the Island of Oahu) is about 900,000.
An economic and tourism boom following statehood brought rapid economic growth to Honolulu and Hawaii. Today, Honolulu is a modern city with numerous high-rise buildings, and Waikiki is the center of the tourism industry in Hawaii, with thousands of hotel rooms. If you're looking for a room with a great view of the volcanic crater, then check out the Halekulani resort on the Waikiki beachfront.
