Introduction
Facilities
Reviews

Soak up the incredible views from this independently-owned-and-run hotel.

Life is about enjoying the cool and quirky style and the uninterrupted views of Diamond Head at this landmark Waikiki hotel. It’s all white-washed walls, fresh pastel colours and décor that depicts the island’s renowned surf scene in fun and funky artworks; you’ll know exactly where you are here. Every has been thoughtfully remodelled including the pool deck which may just have the best views of any pool in the area.

Good to Know

There’s a bar and grill just a few steps away from the pool's edge so it’s not too far to move from your sun lounger to grab a cocktail and some all-American dishes which have been infused with some Hawaiian flavours. Knots Coffee Roasters is the hotel’s other drinking and dining venue and it has a menu of light dishes, coffees, teas and speciality drinks as well as a selection of signature cocktails.
