Lihue

The hotels of Lihue offer you a great opportunity to see the island of Kauai from main street Lihue, the sandy beaches of Poipu, the seclusion of Na Pali. Kauai is today one of the finest "Island Escapes" available, so if your on a short flight from the west coast or just island hopping come and make Lihue Kauai yours.

Lihue is the county seat for Kauai, its business center and home to Lihue airport, your gateway to Kauai.

If you choose to stay in Lihue then you are in luck. The city boasts some of the finest lodging opportunities on the island, with quick and easy access to the airport and all that the coconut coast and south shore have to offer, just outside your door.

Lihue has its share of attractions. Unlike the waterfalls, cliffs and tropical pools that are found on other parts of the island, Lihue hosts some of the best preserved plantation-era buildings around. There are also many buildings from the turn of last century to after World War 2, some now being restored to their former grandeur. There are numerous pre-colonial areas around the outskirts of town offering a view back into the past, though the best sites are located up the road in Kapaa.
