Executive Chambers
The Executive Chambers are on the fifth floor of the Hawai`i State Capitol. The Governor’s chambers are on the Diamond Head side of the rotunda, while the Lieutenant Governor’s offices are on the `Ewa side.
Before entering the chambers, look closely at the two entrance doors. Eight panels cover each door. The panels represent the eight main islands in the state.
The Executive Chambers of the Governor’s office are paneled with koa wood. In the lobby of the chambers are large display cabinets containing numerous articles presented to the state, including Native Hawaiian artifacts, gifts from foreign countries, commendations and Space Shuttle memorabilia.

Straight ahead is the Governor’s ceremonial room, where news conferences, formal bill signings and other events are held. Portraits of recent governors hang in this room.
