Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel

Honolulu, Honolulu

Star rating

The hotel

Hawaii's first and only craft hotel - from the Hawaiian art that adorns the walls, curated by local artists, to the locally brewed beer and handmade dishes from fresh, local ingredients. You really will get a true taste of Waikiki staying here! There's even an art gallery come coffee shop within the hotel. Located on the bustling street that is Kalakaua Avenue, you've got shops, restaurants and bars surrounding you. Connected to a shopping centre, you can be in Macy's at the drop of a hat, that's if you can tear yourself away from the pool's swimming pool and hot tub! But of course when you think of Hawaii, you also think of the ocean, and you're only a block away from the waves of Waikiki Beach too. Back to the locally brewed beer, Maui Brewing Co. is the island's largest bar, and will keep you entertained with daily live music, a whole host of craft beers, ales and lagers, and of course some delicious handmade food to accompany them.

The singular most compelling feature of this hotel is its location - right smack in the middle of the Waikiki strip.

The singular most compelling feature of this hotel is its location - right smack in the middle of the Waikiki strip. And the second is the fact that it houses the first in-house Cirque Du Soleil show in Hawaii. This Outrigger is decent by many means. It is not the most luxurious but rooms are decently size, with ability to house a family of 4 (with two young children) comfortably; and has easy accessibility to the International Market Place and surrounding eateries. The beds are comfortable, and the room has been renovated to give it a modern vibe. There’s a pool in the hotel but it’s not very large; and conveniently, coin laundromat on site. Staff are wonderful and that is what made it a full package in Hawaii. But the family tremendously, and is overjoyed to see a Cirque show in the premise and with a Local theme. It is a wonderful show and highly recommended to all guests. Read less

Flew over for the day from Maui. I was greeted by Joshua in the lobby. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had unmatched customer service, answering all my questions about the area without hesitation. Made our stay and experience memorable. Mahalo Joshua!

The location is brilliant, the staff are lovely to deal with. My only criticism with the hotel is the decor and beds are dated and need to be upgraded. The Beachcomber is in a very convenient location close to all of the action if thats what you are looking for or set back enough to watch the world go by.

We just returned from our first visit to magical Hawaii. We stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki Beachcomber Hotel which was right in the middle of all the action in Waikiki. Everything was walkable from the hotel. We were on the 24th floor with an oceanview. There was construction going on right beside us, but the noise was not a bother. When you close the patio door, the room was nice and quiet. The hotel itself had wonderful staff. Xhi Yi was the housekeeper on our floor, and she was so friendly and kind. The folks at the front desk were very helpful. The rooms were decorated nicely, were very comfortable, and had all the amenities one might need. We enjoyed the coffee shop on site each morning. The pool had plenty of towels and sunscreen available at all time, however, I was disappointed in how small it was. It only took four or five kids, and it was full. The pictures online make the pool appear larger than it really is.For someone who is not an ocean swimmer, having a pool in the heat is really an important part of a vacation and this pool did not measure up. That would be my only complaint. Read less

Cyrus checked us in and was super professional but also incredibly friendly. Since we were celebrating a bachelorette, he offered us a free upgrade from a partial ocean view standard room to a junior suite! Would 100% recommend.
