I think pound for pound no city can come close to Honolulu. It has a metro of just under 1 million and according to emporis.com has 407 high rises. Compare that to the following much larger cities:

Yeah, resort cities typically have oversized skylines for obvious reasons.
Most of those high rises are apartments and condos like Miami. It's not like they are mostly hotels like Myrtle Beach or something. Places like Honolulu and Miami have lots of high rises because land is scarce and in Honolulu very expensive.

I never said they were hotels. Geography plays a special role for those sorts of cities in one form or another, either lots of hotels or geographic constraints.

Then what exactly were you implying by HNL being a resort city? Geography has more to do with HNL's high rises than it being a resort city.
Looking at Chicago's skyline you would think it would have almost as many people as NYC.
I think Wilmington, De skyline is pretty nice considering it only has about 75,000 people. Not really any huge buildings but a number of midsized buildings for it's size. I'd imagine it suprises some people not from the area driving on I-95 wondering "what city is this" when driving in between Baltimore and Philly.
