The hotel

Named after the beloved wife of Hawaii’s last king, Queen Kapiolani is something of a Waikiki landmark, paying homage to Hawaii’s majestic heritage and unique culture with a modern twist. Overlooking the sandiest stretch of Waikiki Beach, guests can enjoy stunning views of Diamond Head from the balconies of their newly renovated rooms, each and every one of them furnished in breezy Island style. As a change from the beach, laze beside the pool instead, dipping in every now and again to cool off. Although there are restaurants all around you, the hotel’s own Kulana is highly recommended, not just for buffet favourites but for its sweeping panoramic views! Pre-dinner, chill awhile at the Deck Pool, sipping on your favourite cocktail – a Mai Tai perhaps?

I really like this hotel for a couple different reasons. 1st: ease of getting to the hotel. Out of all the hotels in the Waikiki area, it’s the easiest to access from the freeway. Also it’s close proximity to the beach. My biggest disappointment this trip was the new valet service the hotel contracted with. Not friendly, they don’t answer the phone when you call them from the room phone and the QR code on the valet ticket doesn’t work. I’ve been staying at this property at least once a year since 2018 and this was the worst valet experience I’ve ever had. Other than the valet service. The rest of the service was excellent!

Amazing stay. The views were incredible and the restaurant food was delicious. I highly recommend staying for small groups or large. The pool was not very big but the ocean is a 3 minute walk!
