A lush water garden with koi ponds and waterfalls greets residents and visitors, creating a serene atmosphere that contrasts with the bustling streets of Waikiki. Walking paths meander through these landscaped areas, providing pleasant spaces for a morning stroll or evening walk.
For those who enjoy outdoor cooking, multiple BBQ areas are available for use. A library and meeting rooms cater to residents' intellectual and business needs, while a recreation room provides additional space for socializing and entertainment.

Storage solutions are available for residents, including dedicated areas for surfboards, paddleboards, and bicycles – perfect for those embracing the Hawaiian outdoor lifestyle. The Windsor is also pet-friendly, a rarity among Waikiki condominiums, allowing residents to share their homes with their furry companions.
Gateway to Waikiki's world-famous attractions
The Windsor Condos sits at the threshold of Waikiki, one of the world's most famous beach destinations. This location offers residents the best of both worlds – easy access to Waikiki's vibrant energy and proximity to the more laid-back atmosphere of the Ala Moana area.
Just steps away, the Ala Moana Beach Park provides a vast green space and a beautiful beach. The park's Magic Island is another nearby attraction, offering additional recreational opportunities.
Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Ala Moana Center, the world's largest open-air shopping mall. For more local flavor, the nearby Ward Village offers a mix of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues.
Waikiki's famous stretch of white sand beaches is within easy reach, perfect for sunbathing, surfing, or people-watching. The area is dotted with iconic hotels, including the pink-hued Royal Hawaiian and the Moana Surfrider, which offer a glimpse into Waikiki's storied past.
Dining options abound in the neighborhood. From high-end restaurants in nearby hotels to casual local eateries, there's something for every palate. The Food Pantry, a local grocery store, is conveniently located for everyday needs.
For entertainment, residents can enjoy regular events like the Waikiki Spam Jam food festival or the Honolulu Festival. The Waikiki Shell hosts concerts throughout the year, while street performers and Hawaiian music can often be found along Kalakaua Avenue.
Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Ala Wai Canal, a popular spot for outrigger canoeing and evening strolls. For those seeking more adventure, the iconic Diamond Head State Monument, with its popular hiking trail, is just a short drive away.
The neighborhood's central location also provides easy access to other parts of Honolulu. Downtown, with its business district and historic Chinatown, is a short drive away, as is the trendy Kakaako neighborhood with its vibrant arts scene and new developments.
Well-connected urban living with multiple transit options
The Windsor Condos benefits from its strategic location, offering residents multiple transportation options for navigating Honolulu and beyond. The area's excellent walkability means that many daily needs can be met on foot, from grocery shopping to dining out.
Public transportation is readily available, with several bus stops within a five-minute walk of the building. The stop at Ala Moana Bl & Hobron Ln, just steps away, serves multiple routes including the Ala Moana-Sea Life Park line and the Waikiki-Airport-Aloha Stadium line, providing convenient access to various parts of the island.
For those preferring to cycle, the neighborhood is conducive to biking, with dedicated bike lanes on many streets. The city's Biki bike-sharing program has several stations nearby, offering an eco-friendly option for short trips.
Residents who own cars will find the Windsor's location advantageous. The building offers secure parking, and its position at the edge of Waikiki means easier access to main roads compared to properties deeper in the tourist district. Ala Moana Boulevard, which runs along the coast, provides a direct route to downtown Honolulu and other parts of the island. The H1 freeway is also easily accessible, connecting to the airport and other major highways.
For inter-island or international travel, Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is approximately 9 miles away, typically a 20-minute drive depending on traffic. The proximity to major thoroughfares makes airport runs relatively straightforward.
Ride-sharing services and taxis are plentiful in the area, offering another convenient option for getting around, especially during peak tourist seasons when parking in popular areas can be challenging.
The Windsor's location strikes a balance between walkability and drive-ability. While many amenities are within walking distance, the easy access to major roads and public transportation routes ensures that the entire island remains accessible, whether for work commutes or leisure activities.
