Designed by renowned artist Millard Sheets, the colorful ceramic tiles climb the entire height of the 31-story tower. By design, the murals welcome all visitors to Oahu, regardless of their hotel choice; the focal point for the murals is 2.5 miles away, which on the ocean side coincides with the air corridor in and out of Honolulu International Airport. An inscription in Hawaiian on the mural reads: "Ho'ola'a ia I na kanaka me o ka uhane o Hawaii" ("dedicated to the people and spirit of Hawaii"). During 2004, the murals will receive a facelift of sorts - more than 100 tiles that have cracked broken or become badly weathered by the elements over the past 35 years will be replaced with exact recreations that will be impossible to discern from Sheets' original masterpieces."
