NxtUp...Doris Duke

Shangri La Hawaii Style

Built in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1937, Shangri La overlooks the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head and houses Doris Duke�s collection of Islamic art. Of Duke's many residences, Shangri La is the only one that she built from the ground up and filled from the inside out.

Shangri La borrows architectural elements and artistic sensibilities from regions of the Islamic world, and blends them with a distinctly Hawaiian landscape that features sweeping ocean views, exotic gardens and a 75-foot saltwater pool.

The whole tour is almost a half day. That is a lot of time when there is so much fun to be had in the sun. It would be awfully wonderful to see though.
