Garden Gate
Once the capital of Hawaii, Lahaina Town and its historic business district are only a stone's throw from this hotel. When you enter the hotel, you will go over a bridge that has a stream flowing beneath it. Included in the price per night of $125 or more, depending on your accommodations, you'll waken each day with a breakfast complete with fresh pastries and fruit, as well as a cup of Hawaii's own Kona coffee. You'll be steps away from the ocean, and a short ride from some of the area's great golf courses.
