Statue in the front entrance.

There are two banks of elevators arranged in a circular pattern. 12 in all.
There is one elevator button for all 12 elevators. We push it and then vigilantly try to watch all 12 elevators at once. When a light comes on it is necessary to run to that door or be beat out by 50 other people, mostly Japanese, who are much quicker than we are. We are on the 20th floor. There are 31 floors in all.
Furnishings in our 20th floor lobby.
Maybe a little vintage but I like it.
Our room key is a waterproof wristband with a chip in it. It activates a device on the door.
These folding windows separate the bathroom from the bedroom. I'm not sure why we need them, but oh well. Easy enough to close.
I realize toileting is a delicate topic, but I must take the time to discuss this interesting electrical device installed on our toilet. Meet the "Washlet." It has a remote control installed within arms reach. The moment one sits down a fan gently blows. Ok, I guess. The remote control has settings for a front wash and rear wash. Hmmm. For the connisour there are choices for pulsating with varying degrees of pressure and oscillating with degrees of range as in narrow to wide angle. Then one can dry the whole kit and caboodle off, much like a car wash I presume. I confess the thing scares me a little. Out of curiosity I pushed the button while standing to watch. A telescopic tube descended from a trap door and sprayed like a water sprinkler on my shirt and the bathroom floor before disappearing as mysteriously as it appeared. I know I live a sheltered life on Oatmeal Creek, but this thing really takes the cake. It is manufactured by Toto. As Dorothy said in Wizard of Oz, "I don't think we're in Kansas (or Oatmeal Creek) anymore!
View of Diamond Head and Waikiki from our lanai (porch, or in this case, balcony.)
We have eaten most meals at Kai Market here at the Sheraton. They serve an expansive all you can eat buffet.
