Hotel accommodations

Honolulu is a very popular tourist destination and has an extensive network of hotels and other accommodation options available to visitors. The late summer period when the workshop will take place is going to be peak of the tourist season, so it is very important that you book your hotel as early as possible.

Unfortunately, the local organizing committee will NOT be able to assist in making hotel reservations, so it is up to you to contact hotels.

We reserved blocks of rooms for the workshop participants at the Ala Moana Hotel, the main event venue, as well as at several inexpensive on-campus student and faculty dormitories.


The hotel is conveniently located about 8 miles (20 minutes by taxi) from the Honolulu International Airport (HNL), next to the Ala Moana Center, the largest shopping mall in Hawaii, featuring over 350 shops and restaurants, and walking distance from Ala Moana Beach Park. There is a public bus service and Biki rental bicycle service that connects Ala Moana Hotel and University of Hawaii Campus, which are about 2.5 miles away (45 min by walk).


Lincoln Hall is an inexpensive visiting faculty accommodation. Rooms vary in price from $56-$80. The rooms have private bathrooms, small refrigerator and TV. There is one laundry facilities on site. Lincoln Hall is located on the campus of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, next door to the Imin Conference Center, and across a road from the Pacific Ocean Science and Technology building, housing the Hawaii Institute of Geophysics and Planetology and High Pressure Mineral Physics and Extreme Materials Labs.

There is a public bus service and Biki rental bicycle service that connect Ala Moana Hotel and University of Hawaii Campus, which are about 2.5 miles away (45 min by walk).
