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?

Had another great stay at QK! Love the consistency of the service and cleanliness of the rooms! Location is great and was happy to see one of our favorite places (island vintage) opened a location one block over! We were there everyday of our stay!

Entrance to reception always congested. Cars parked without drivers in them and we have a taxi with the metre running which cost us more money than we envisaged.

The stay was fantastic .... I misplaced my mobile and staff went above and beyond to assist me - I was so lucky as I found it. The concierge was so helpful and assisted with arranging excursions. The room had a terrific view and the Hotel had a real vibe to it.
