Tamarind Square
falls on the corner of King st and Bishop in the center of Honolulu's financial district. Facing the southern or Makai side of the square is the First Hawaiian Center, which is the tallest building in Honolulu and home to the auxillary gallery of the Contemporary Museum of Art and First Hawaiian Bank. It is an excellent example of the Hawaiian Modern Architecture with its native motifs and Hawaiian styled architectural imbelishments.
The Square itself is a peaceful oasis amoungst the towering skyscrapers that define the downtown area. Most of Tamarind Square is occupied by a beautiful terraced water feature that adds to the tranquility of the space despite the hustle and bustle that surrounds it.
During the Holiday season this area is brightly lit with colored lights and Trolley tours of the light displays are very popular amoungst locals and tourists alike.
