Beachside rooms away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki.

In Short
Located across from lovely Kapiolani Park, this oceanside gem stands in the shadow of towering Diamond Head. Busy Waikiki is just a short walk away, but here, the white sandy beach is cleaner and more serene. Thanks to San Souci Beach Park, you can walk from your room to the beach without encountering throngs of tourists. Head to the sands early enough and you may see local outrigger canoeists warming up for the day. With vibrant, sun-drenched rooms and your own coffeemaker and fridge, you'll feel right at home in this 124-room hotel. The Sunset Lanai Bar is a choice place to meet new people, and the Hau Tree Lanai restaurant serves up fabulous meals and stunning sunsets. A small sundry shop near the lobby is a convenient place to grab a quick snack and other necessities.
