CASTLE WAIKIKI SHORE, Honolulu

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.

Units are individually owned and decorated, so décor and furnishings vary. 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.

Guests have direct, key-fob access to Waikiki Beach. Snorkelling equipment is available at no charge. On-site tennis courts are available. There is no swimming pool or spa. A surboard storage area is also available. Friday night fireworks from the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village are visible from many balconies.

Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms. On-site private parking costs $40 per day and is first come, first served (no reservation possible). The nearest overflow lot is Fort DeRussy. Airport shuttle is not available; the front desk can arrange taxis. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals and late departures. Daily housekeeping is offered at an additional fee; staff are on site from 9 AM to 2:30 PM to replenish items. The property has a lift and stairs to all floors. Accessible parking is available. A tour desk can help arrange area attractions. The property accepts American Express, Visa, Discover, and MasterCard.
