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?

Our stay was great. From before we got there with the texting chat. We were able to get answers very quickly. Even after we left got response quickly. Nice walking distance to store’s and restaurants. The best part was the view of the mountain and beach!

The reception and foyer reflected the surfing community and so a very comfortable place to watch the world go by. I highly recommend this classic hotel and would definitely stay here next… Read more

Beautiful and unpretentious hotel. The location was perfect and the staff was flawless. Everyone was friendly, helpful and kind. We had a city-view room on the 12th floor. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were outstanding. We had an amazing week, and we would certainly stay here again!
