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.

We had an overall positive experience at the Prince Waikīkī! At first when we arrived, the front desk receptionist was tricky to work with. She was not clear with her expectations or the necessary documents she needed from us. The process was slow and there was no explanation for why. It was odd, but not rude or anything. Then we went to bed and… Read more
We had an overall positive experience at the Prince Waikīkī! At first when we arrived, the front desk receptionist was tricky to work with. She was not clear with her expectations or the necessary documents she needed from us. The process was slow and there was no explanation for why. It was odd, but not rude or anything. Then we went to bed and woke up to a beautiful view! The ocean harborfront suite was incredibly gorgeous and we loved seeing the boats come in and out each day! We noticed that our fridge had a leak and a strong smell of ozone, a machine used to kill any living bacteria, like mold or ammonia. It has a distinct odor and the machine was left behind in our room. Hotels never smell like fresh flowers or vanilla, but the smell was certainly not pleasant. Our sheets and towels absorbed the smell as well, so we were reminded of it. Other than that, we had a great time and stay. The service for our inconveniences was swift and very helpful! Read less

I’ve stayed at the Prince 4–5 times and always enjoyed it as a convenient local escape from our home in Kakaʻako. This stay, however, was so chaotic and frustrating that I regretted not just staying in our own condo down the street. Our room was the worst I’ve had at the Prince—lowest floor, directly over the yacht club parking lot. The Kamaʻāina booking promised “ocean view,” but that was a stretch. Given the repeated issues during check-in, the placement felt retaliatory. The next morning, housekeeping knocked and woke us up at 9:30am—well before checkout. After such a stressful experience, we hoped to rest. Instead, we left more exhausted than when we arrived. This stay was unacceptable. The disorganization, lack of communication, and unprofessionalism from staff marked a serious decline in service. The Prince used to be a go-to, but after this experience, I won’t be returning—and I won’t recommend it to others. Read less
