Hotel Details

Location

Situated directly on Waikiki Beach, next to Fort DeRussy Park, with shops, restaurants, and public transport within a short walk.
The property is on the beachfront at the heart of Waikiki, adjacent to Fort DeRussy Park. Waikiki Beach Walk, with dozens of restaurants (including Roy's Waikiki Beach and House Without a Key) and shops, is a 5-minute walk away. Diamond Head Crater Hiking Trail is less than 6 km away. Honolulu International Airport is a 20-minute drive. The area is very walkable, and public transit (trolley, bus) stops nearby. On-site parking is limited, first come, first served at $40/day; if full, the Fort DeRussy parking lot across the street is the closest alternative.

Accommodation

Privately owned condominium units ranging from studios to two-bedrooms, each with a private balcony, kitchen/kitchenette, and in-room washer/dryer.

Studios (sleep 2) have a kitchenette; 1-bedroom units (sleep up to 4) have a full kitchen; 2-bedroom units (sleep up to 6) have a full kitchen and two bathrooms. Most 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units have a sliding partition to separate the sleeping area from the living room - not a fully enclosed bedroom. Bedding (king, queen, or twin) is a request only and confirmed upon arrival. All units include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a private bathroom with a bath or shower, a TV, and a tea/coffee maker. Some rooms have a walk-in shower or a bidet. Upper-floor ocean-view units (floors 10-15) offer expansive views of Waikiki Beach and are less affected by street noise. Road-facing and park-facing rooms may experience significant early-morning noise from leaf blowers, traffic, and trolleys.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request beds (king, queen, or twin) and a room away from street noise in advance; bedding and unit location are confirmed only on arrival.

  • 02

    Check parking availability immediately upon arrival - parking is first come, first served at $40/day, and if full, the nearest alternative is the Fort DeRussy lot across the street.

  • 03

    Plan to self-cater: units have full kitchens or kitchenettes; a nearby grocery store (Foodland Farms) offers delivery with coupons provided at the front desk.

  • 04

    Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper - the property faces a park and main road with early-morning leaf blowers, traffic, and trolley beeping starting around 5 AM.
