Planning your Oahu getaway around local events can make your trip even more special. Aqua-Aston Hospitality’s properties put you in the heart of the action, whether you’re an art enthusiast, festival-goer, or looking to give back.

From February 15 to May 4, 2025, the Hawaiʻi Triennial 2025 will showcase one of Hawaii’s largest contemporary art exhibitions, featuring a curated lineup of artists and organizational partners. In March, the island comes alive with the Honolulu Festival (March 7–9, 2025), now in its 29th year. This beloved event highlights the diverse cultures of Hawaii through performances, arts, and educational programs, culminating in a fireworks show along Waikīkī Beach. For the best views, consider booking a stay at Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel, which offers unobstructed beachfront rooms.

If you’re interested in giving back during your stay, Hawai‘i Volunteer Month in April encourages visitors to participate in community projects across the islands. And on May 1, 2025, the annual Lei Day Celebration honors the iconic lei, symbolizing love, respect, and the spirit of Aloha. Aqua-Aston will mark the occasion with onsite activations, including lei-making workshops for guests.

Now Now NoHo: New York’s first hotel designed for solo travelers
A NYC hotel offering something different
Now Now Noho

Now Now NoHo is the first hotel of its kind in New York—offering an entirely new take on solo travel with a design-forward, socially engaging, and highly functional approach. This hospitality experience is built for discovery—one that embraces the pace of NYC while offering a place to pause, recharge, and connect. Envisioned as a transformative boutique experience for solo travelers, Now Now NoHo offers 180 small but thoughtfully designed sleeper cabins that combine the nostalgia of European train cars with the ingenuity of Japanese capsule hotels.

The new hotel is set to open in April of 2025 located at 338 Bowery. Now Now NoHo places guests at the crossroads of some of Manhattan’s most iconic neighborhoods, including SoHo, the East Village, and the Lower East Side. Bowery is a historic street—the oldest in New York City—with deep cultural and social significance. The idea for this innovative hotel project is led by Phil Hospod, CEO & Co-Founder of Dovetail + Co, known for its critically acclimated hotel projects in multiple destinations.
Hospod shared insight into the origins behind the idea for Now Now NoHo and what guests can expect once the sleeper cabin hotel opens. He describes himself as a "hotel junkie at heart," inspired by projects like this one that challenge the imagination. Hospod is genuinely passionate about creating spaces with soul, celebrating local communities, and delivering for all stakeholders.
