The outer wall is entirely glass, making the most of a panoramic view that includes the ocean. It overlooks Fort DeRussy Park, so I could leave the curtains open without worrying about privacy--there are no neighboring buildings opposite my window. The only thing you should know is the curtains are loosely woven and end about one foot from the floor, so plenty of light from the street enters at night. I had a sleep mask so it wasn't a problem. I enjoyed the 5th floor terrace, which was cool, breezy, and spacious. I also recommend Waikiki Massage in the lobby, S&S Thai Kitchen next door, and Hiking Hawaii Cafe two doors down.
