5. Honolulu Hale

DOWNTOWN.   Honolulu's City Hall, a California-inspired Spanish Colonial-style building, was completed in 1928 to house the island's relatively new municipal government. Modeled after a Florentine palace, its interior courtyard adds an elegant note, as do frescoes and hand-carved stonework. Locals flock to city hall in December and January to see the elaborate holiday decorations that festoon the building's fountains and lawn. The structure is surrounded by many other civic and religious buildings of historical significance. In addition, concerts and art exhibits are often hosted by Honolulu Hale.   (© 10Best)
