What it’s good at

In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step out front to Kalakaua Avenue and International Market Place, or walk out back straight into the Canoes surf break.
The rooms
Private lanais look across Diamond Head and the Pacific, complemented inside by woven entry screens and wave-patterned carpets.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Loungers and a whirlpool spa surround the swimming pool, sitting directly above the sands of Waikiki Beach.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Open-air terraces sit right above the sand, serving island seafood and tropical cocktails under thatched umbrellas.
How it began
Opened in 1967, the resort stands on the historic original grounds where Duke Kahanamoku and the Waikiki Beach Boys paddled.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively

Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
