The hotel

Enjoy spectacular all-oceanfront accommodation and world-class service at the Hawaii Prince Hotel, one of Waikiki’s most desirable addresses! Boasting floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic views of the Ala Wai Yacht Harbour and Pacific Ocean are second to none – make sure you’re around at sunset, because they get pretty breathtaking around here! What’s really unique about this stunning hotel is the five-story base that this hotel sits on which is home to restaurants, an open-air lounge, lobby, shops, everything you need for the perfect holiday. If you’re a golf enthusiast, things get even better – the 27-hole course set on Oahu’s sunny Ewa Plain, is the only one of its kind in Hawaii. Enjoy a complimentary shuttle service to and from it courtesy of the hotel and a meal at the Bird of Paradise restaurant, open for lunch and cocktails. If you’d rather be pampered, a trip to the Yamano Day Spa is recommended, specialists in ‘aesthetics’, this relaxation technique will chase any lingering cares away! Dining is varied with plenty of options on offer, kick-starting in Reef Lounge perhaps – Waikiki’s newest contemporary lounge serving great martinis.

The Prince Waikiki has a luxurious but non-stuffy feel. The lobby is vast and airy. The rooms are spacious and filled with quality furnishing. I wish I had their bathroom in my home. The staff are uniformly pleasant and helpful. What more could one ask of an establishment for travel?

The Prince Waikiki is, and always will be, my go-to place to stay in Waikiki. Every room offers a stunning ocean view, and the Kamaʻāina rates are truly appreciated. Most importantly, the staff is consistently exceptional. Check-in is always simple and quick, with Front Desk staff who are friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained—just what you want after a long day. The team at Hinana Bar deserves special recognition—they go above and beyond, always anticipating our needs and providing top-notch service. Even during a recent tsunami event, the communication from the hotel was timely and reassuring, with updates throughout the night and into the morning. Check-out, like check-in, was seamless and efficient. I’m always looking forward to my next stay at The Prince Waikiki. Mahalo to the entire team for consistently delivering such a memorable experience! Read less

Prince Waikiki was the perfect mix of luxury and comfort. The views were stunning, the rooms were spotless, and the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. We especially loved the infinity pool and peaceful location just outside the busy Waikiki strip. Can’t wait to come back!

The Prince Waikiki was better than expected. All rooms have ocean view but are overlooking the Ala Wai small boat harbor. So sunsets have sailboats and ocean waves and are gorgeous. Floor to ceiling windows with automatic curtains were awesome. Press the button to make them go up and down revealing the view outside. We stayed in room 703&704… Read more
The Prince Waikiki was better than expected. All rooms have ocean view but are overlooking the Ala Wai small boat harbor. So sunsets have sailboats and ocean waves and are gorgeous. Floor to ceiling windows with automatic curtains were awesome. Press the button to make them go up and down revealing the view outside. We stayed in room 703&704 which is an adjoining room and right in front of the elevator. We heard no noise from the elevators. 7th floor is really low, but the views are gorgeous. The staff is very attentive and housekeeping will come early so put out your sign to come back later and they are happy to do so. We had a couple special requests and housekeeping was on it fast! The rooms are good, water pressure in showers was good and it was quick with the hot water for showers. Soap, shampoo and conditioner is in the shower for you. They will bring extra towels if requested. The beds were comfortable and the pillows excellent. We did notice a little bit of a slope in the beds on the side where people probably sit on it. Sleeping on the other side was quite comfy. The location is about a 10 minute walk to the Ala Moana mall which has a food court open until 8pm plus all sorts of stores including a target and foodland where you can get groceries. Walk another 8 minutes and Walmart is on the back side of the mall a block further than target. All Very convenient for meals if you don’t want to pay hotel prices for meals. The beaches of Waikiki are a 8 minute walk to the closest and about 24 minute walk to queens beach at the other end of Waikiki. The Ala Wai boat harbor has multiple activity boats (we went parasailing with Hawaiian Parasailing Inc.) just a couple minutes walk and the Kewalo Basin Harbor about a 20 minute walk has a lot too. The beautiful Ala Moana beach park is a 10 minute walk and has great sunset views as well as a running trail, sheltered beach, and picnic areas. It is very popular with locals and tourists. We were here for the tsunami warnings July 29, 2025 and the hotel sent out multiple texts keeping us informed as to the best way to stay safe and whether to evacuate or shelter in place. Eventually they said to stay, and just make sure to be on a floor higher than floor 5. They also kindly provided boxed food and bottled water for guests before the waves were to hit so we didn’t have to worry about trying to find food. The staff was very friendly and calm with the distribution. We used the bus (route 20 - $3 adults, $1.50 kids up to age 17) to get here from the airport. It takes 50 minutes but is super cheap vs. any other method. The stop is Hobron and about a block and a half from the hotel. We will stay here again. Read less

Aug 2, 2025 胤人 齋

Despite requesting two bed guards in advance and receiving a clear confirmation by email that they would be prepared, they were not available upon arrival. When I asked at the hotel, I was told there were none left. This was very disappointing, especially since I had been assured in writing. As a result, I was unable to get proper sleep.
