Waikiki
At the quiet Ala Wai marina end of Waikiki, the Prince offers a refined, less-crowded alternative to the beachfront strip — floor-to-ceiling harbour views from every room, a rooftop pool, and the acclaimed 100 Sails restaurant with a panoramic terrace over the boat harbour. A short walk or free shuttle takes you to the beach.

Waikiki
A slick modern tower at the quieter Diamond Head end of Waikiki with an eye-catching infinity pool terrace, the excellent Morimoto Asia restaurant by Iron Chef Morimoto, and a design sensibility that feels genuinely contemporary in a stretch of hotels that can skew dated.
★ 9.0 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Waikiki
A retro-modern mid-century boutique that deliberately bucks Waikiki's grand-resort convention, with a mural-splashed pool club that's become a favourite of Honolulu's creative community, a photography gallery, and rooms that are genuinely stylish at prices well below the beachfront towers.
★ 8.9 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Waikiki
A sun-soaked, mid-century modernist property with a genuinely fun personality — the Hideout bar with its retro tiki aesthetic, a pool that feels more like a private club than a hotel amenity, and rooms that channel 1960s Hawaii with modern comfort. Well-priced for a well-located Waikiki stay.
★ 8.8 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Waikiki
A fresh, independently minded boutique that reinvented a Waikiki motel into something genuinely appealing — bold local artwork, complimentary beach gear, a lively pool area, and rates that make the Waikiki location feel like a genuine deal rather than a compromise.
★ 8.7 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Downtown Honolulu
An all-suite property in the heart of downtown Honolulu that serves business travellers and budget-conscious visitors alike — full kitchens in every suite, complimentary continental breakfast, and rates that are far below Waikiki equivalents. The Iolani Palace and Hawaii State Art Museum are steps away.
★ 8.2 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
