As our state’s longest-standing and most-acclaimed media brand, HONOLULU celebrates our Islands’ unique culture, heritage and lifestyle. Since 1888, HONOLULU has written stories that matter. Our readers rely on us to report on everything from our newest restaurants to critical issues facing our Island community. HONOLULU is proud of its legacy, having been commissioned by King David Kalakaua to be Hawai’i’s ambassador to the world. Known then as Paradise of the Pacific, it became HONOLULU Magazine in 1966 and shifted its focus to stories about and for the people of the Islands – a mission upheld today.
