The Royal Hawaiian, A Luxury Collection Resort 

Waikiki's pink palace

Spectacularly pink and completely eye-catching, The Royal Hawaiian has become something of a luxury icon. Did we mention, it’s pink?

Distinct and undeniably recognisable amongst its neighbours, you can see why it’s known as ‘The pink palace of the Pacific’. Depending on what you fancy, step out one way onto sandy shores or the other onto popular Kalakaua Avenue: the main shopping scene in Waikiki. The vibrant exterior isn’t to everyone’s taste but step inside to a tropical oasis of a bygone era. Nostalgia and history is part of the experience, so take it all in. Like many Waikiki resorts, the hotel has arguably outgrown its pool, but who needs it when you’re steps from a cooling dunk in the Pacific? With Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head just twenty-minutes by car and Kapiolani Park less than ten, there will be plenty nearby to keep you busy if you tire of shopping sprees and spa treatments.
