About Aloha Tower

Aloha Tower is a 184-foot tower at Pier 9 on Honolulu Harbor, opened in 1926 and for four decades the tallest structure in Hawaii. The retired lighthouse mixes Late Gothic Revival and Art Deco styles. Aloha Tower Marketplace at its base has dining and local shops along the waterfront. The tenth-floor observation deck is currently closed by the state harbors division with no reopening date, so plan to admire the tower from the ground.
