Hotel Details

Location

Just three blocks from Waikiki Beach and a short walk to Kalakaua Avenue's shops and dining, this boutique hotel offers a quiet retreat in the heart of Honolulu.
The International Market Place is 5 minutes away on foot, and Diamond Head is 3 km. Honolulu International Airport is a 20-minute drive. Airport transfers can be arranged via Island Express Shuttle (US$15/person one-way) or rideshare (Uber/Lyft, approximately US$20-60). Waikiki Trolley stops are nearby, making car-free exploration easy. The neighbourhood is lively and walkable, surrounded by restaurants, bars, and attractions. Valet parking is available for US$40/day, but many find the location so convenient that a rental car is unnecessary.

Accommodation

Bright, air-conditioned rooms feature flat-screen HDTV, mini fridge, kimono bathrobes, and either mountain, city, or ocean views.
No balconies or connecting rooms. Rooms start from the 7th floor; some suites offer separate seating areas with queen sofa beds. All rooms include a private bathroom with bathtub/shower combination or walk-in shower. The window AC units and single-glazed windows can let in street noise, so light sleepers may prefer earplugs or a higher floor. While many rooms are clean and comfortable, some have shown signs of wear (stained carpets, chipped paint). Pack 'n Plays are available free; no rollaway beds. Rooms are on the smaller side, best suited for travellers who plan to spend most of their time outdoors. Daily housekeeping is provided.

Dining

Complimentary deluxe continental breakfast with rotating fresh fruits, pastries, hot protein items, Kona coffee, and juices.
Breakfast is served daily from 07:00 to 09:30 in the lobby. The spread includes fresh local fruits (watermelon, pineapple, papaya, etc.), pastries, muffins, oatmeal, and hot items such as eggs, sausage, bacon, and Portuguese sausage (rotating). Gluten-free options are available - fresh fruits, hard-boiled eggs, bacon. For early departures, request a breakfast box the night before. 24-hour coffee, tea, and fruit-infused water are available in the Living Room. Breakfast seating is limited, so arriving early is recommended to secure a table. The quality is simple and consistent, adequate for a quick start to the day.

Wellness and Leisure

Enjoy complimentary beach gear (chairs, mats, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards) and a communal Living Room with board games and 24-hour refreshments.
No pool or on-site gym, but passes to FIT WAIKIKI can be purchased for US$20.94. Movie nights are offered free of charge. The Living Room provides a homelike atmosphere with filtered water, flavoured water, ice machine, vending, books, board games, and a business centre. The Olina Beach Room in the lobby stocks all beach essentials, including coolers and sun umbrellas. The hotel's 14 floors feature murals by local artists, creating a unique cultural backdrop. For relaxation, the lobby offers comfortable seating areas.

Facilities and Services

Valet parking, free high-speed Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry service, and a business centre are available.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Book directly with the hotel to have the amenity fee waived and access best rates, including specials like 5th night free or early bird discounts.

  • 02

    Request a room on a higher floor away from the main road if noise is a concern; window AC units and single-glazed windows let in street noise.

  • 03

    Use the free beach gear (chairs, mats, towels, umbrellas, boogie boards) from the lobby instead of renting at the beach.

  • 04

    Plan breakfast early (before 7:30 AM) to secure seating; the buffet area has limited tables and fills quickly.

  • 05

    For early morning tours, request a breakfast box the night before to take with you.

  • 06

    Avoid renting a car unless necessary; valet parking is $40/day and the location is highly walkable with public transit (Waikiki Trolley) nearby.
