What they say
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
Following a $110 million renovation, this Waikiki resort has spanking-new rooms, three new restaurants, an expanded spa, and a rebuilt pool and deck.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Direct beachfront access on Kālia Road puts the open greenery of Fort DeRussy and the shops of Waikiki Beach Walk nearby.
The rooms
Renovated rooms and suites feature natural wood finishes and private lanais taking in views of Honolulu or the Pacific surf.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The oceanfront swimming pool sits steps from Waikīkī Beach, lit by tiki torches as dusk falls.
Gym and cabanas
A 24-hour fitness center covers daily workouts, and curtained oceanfront cabanas offer shaded daybeds by the sand.
Restaurant
Monkeypod Kitchen by Merriman
Peter Merriman's beachfront restaurant serves mai tais with honey-lilikoi foam against panoramic views of Diamond Head.
This one is a little bigger and a little quieter. It’s right on the beach, just north of the main resort cluster, and though a short walk to the middle of the action, far enough to feel out of the fray.
At the table
Tiki torches light the open-air patio at Kani Ka Pila Grille, where slack-key guitarists play every evening.
How it began
Welcoming guests since 1955, the property celebrates Polynesian navigation with a century-old koa wood canoe suspended in the longhouse entryway.
