Facility Overview
The 1651 Ala Moana Blvd Parking facility is strategically positioned at the western gateway of Waikiki, directly serving the Discovery Bay commercial and residential complex in Honolulu. This multi-level covered parking garage provides a secure, well-sheltered environment that protects vehicles from Hawaii\'s intense coastal sun and occasional tropical rain. Designed with clearly designated drive aisles, standard stalls, and dedicated compact vehicle bays, the garage is suitable for standard passenger sedans, crossovers, and mid-sized SUVs. Due to overhead garage height limitations (typically around 6 feet 2 inches to 6 feet 4 inches throughout standard levels), drivers of oversized commercial vans, high-roof conversion vans, lifted pickup trucks, or vehicles equipped with high cargo roof racks should exercise caution or consider nearby open-air surface parking options at the adjacent harbor.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When entering the structure, be mindful of oncoming traffic when turning from Ala Moana Boulevard during morning and evening rush hours. Always take note of your exact level and pillar identifier, as the multi-level layout is symmetrical. If you plan to dine or shop at businesses located within Discovery Bay Center, remember to request parking validation to significantly offset hourly parking rates. On Friday evenings, arrive earlier in the afternoon to secure a stall if you are visiting to watch the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks display.
