The rooms and suites are a perfect blend of utopian modernism and tasteful tropical charm, and if they’re not exactly ostentatious, they are quietly luxurious.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The hotel sits along Kūhiō Avenue next to the International Market Place, five minutes on foot from Waikiki Beach.
The rooms
Every room comes with a private lanai, pin-leg wood furnishings, and custom monstera-leaf wallpaper.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Half-submerged loungers line the second-floor saltwater pool, surrounded by bamboo screens and shaded daybeds.
The gym
Cardio equipment and free weights sit beside slatted louvered windows in the 24-hour fitness room.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Hideout Waikiki
Modern Hapa Hawaiian dishes and cocktails are served across an open-air lanai with sand floors and a terrazzo bar.
At the table
Hideout Coffee pours Stumptown espresso in the morning from a fluted timber and terrazzo counter.
How it began
First opened in 1969 as the Coral Reef Hotel, the property was redesigned in 2017 around vintage island nostalgia.
