Remembering Waikiki's Ilikai hotel

Heres a list of restaurants and clubs that were located at the Ilikai over the years. If you remember others, your comments and remembrances are welcome
.

Restaurants:
Champeaux (located at the top of the hotel, a fine dining French restaurant in 60s 70s)
Top of the Ilikai (excellent views, most recently Sarentos - an Italian restaurant is in this grear location))
Canoe House, opened in 1966 (Hawaiis celebrity chef Alan Wong once worked here, great local musician-xylophone player Arthur Lyman performed here)
Beau Rivage (another fine dining French restaurant back in the day)
Pier 7 (was a great coffee shop)
Tanaka of Tokyo

Clubs
Hong Kong Junk (local groups like Liz Damon and the Orient Express performed here I believe Carole Kai was part of this group at one time or another)
Annabelles (a sophisticated discotheque was located at the top of the hotel)

BTW The first glass elevator was installed at the Ilikai hotel.

The essential to budget travel is to plan ahead. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new destinations we have never been before, the truth of cost and budgeting is generally in the back of our thoughts. Considering and expending our travel budget correctly is a concern for most families. Curbing spending and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to certain accomplishment and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought regarding saving money while touring is simple: Even if your personal finances is extremely small, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel bill!. My stories will arrive in your in-box as they are posted.
