Contemporary elegance in the hub of Waikiki Directly across the street from Waikiki Beach, this self-contained, two-tower resort spans an entire block and is within a two-minute walk of enormous Kapiolani Park and a three-minute drive to Diamond Head crater. As part of a $60-million renovation, extra-large guestrooms have contemporary elegance, including tie-back drapes. All have view balconies. Two pools (one in each tower), a ground-floor shopping mall, six restaurants and lounges, and a health spa provide full services. A must-see is a running-water, lava-rock "beachscape" at the back tower's atrium garden. |

| SERVICES |
| What to expect: Occupying 5.3 acres of prime Waikiki real estate, this large resort hotel offers every facility and service needed for a complete vacation. All of Waikiki's shopping, dining, and entertainment is within walking distance, as is Kapiolani Park, which contains the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium. Amenity highlights: An expansive, third-floor terrace in the front tower provides a perfect spot for enjoying the Hawaiian sun. The ocean-view terrace has a large pool and a restaurant that offers live Hawaiian music at night above the colorful scene on Waikiki's main street, Kalakaua Avenue. Directly across Kalakaua is Kuhio Beach Park, a casual family destination featuring an enclosed salt-water lagoon with a sand bottom. Kuhio Beach is an extension of—and indistinguishable from—the better-known Waikiki Beach, which is a two-minute walk from the hotel. But for most visitors, it's all the same beach. Insider tip: Patience rewards at the beachscape. Just as at a real beach, the lava-rock pile spurts and blows at various times from various places, with the big blowhole going off periodically. The entire show is worth the wait. |
| The lobby contains a fax machine that acquires newspapers from all over the world. This is just one of the features of the resort's $60-million renovation, in which the entire 1,310-room, two-tower resort was refreshed. Facilities and services include a health-and-beauty spa for massage, body and facial treatments, and hair and nail care; a fitness center; a children's activities program; a doctor's office; and 24-hour high-speed Internet access in a room next to a full-service business center. A shopping mall occupies the resort’s ground floor. |
