W Honolulu-Diamond Head

This small luxury hotel at the foot of Diamond Head has light, airy rooms with Balinese furnishings. The location is superb – close enough to Waikīkī to enjoy it when you want to and far enough away when you don’t. It’s home to the Diamond Head Grill with its hip, place-to-seeand-be-seen bar.
Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort

Across from Kūhiō Beach, the hotel’s Ali’iolani Tower offers very large guestrooms; many Paokalani Tower rooms have great views of Diamond Head. The hotel has six restaurants, two pools, a full-service spa, a fitness center, and plenty of on-site shopping.
Waikīkī Beachcomber

A great location, across the street from Waikīkī Beach, and a short walk from the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center and International Marketplace. The hotel’s big draw is the legendary Don Ho (see Don Ho Show), whose show is housed here.
Waikīkī Joy Hotel

This off-the-main-drag boutique hotel is a hidden treasure. One of the two towers has suites, the other regular rooms. All have whirlpool tubs and stereo systems. Complimentary continental breakfast.
Waikīkī Parc

Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price. Rooms are tastefully appointed and the Parc Café offers bountiful buffets.
Waikīkī Sand Villa Hotel

Just a few blocks from the beach, this affordable hotel has medium-size rooms and studio apartments, all with free internet acess. The kidney-shaped pool is the location for daily complimentary breakfast.
Waikīkī Shores Condominium

The only oceanfront condo complex in Waikīkī, most of the one- and two-bed suites and studios feature breathtaking views, especially on the upper floors. All units have a kitchen and laundry facilities.
’Ewa Hotel

Tucked between Kalākaua and Kūhiō avenues, the attractions here are an earlier check-in time than most – 2pm (it’s 3pm elsewhere) – the kitchen facilities, which in many of the rooms are particularly good, and the low rates. It’s as close to Kapi’olani Park as you can get.
’Ilima Hotel

Many consider this condominium hotel the best value in Waikīkī. All the studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites are spacious, with kitchens. HBO, the Disney Channel, even local calls are all included in the low prices – unheard of at the big resorts. There’s even a pool, exercise room, and sauna.
’Ohana East

’Ohana means family in Hawaiian and this is a good choice for family vacations. Standard hotel rooms and studios with kitchenettes are available here. The Nintendo games in each room will keep the kids busy when you’re not off sightseeing. It’s a short walk to the beach.
