Amenities & Wellness

The Royal Hawaiian has a private beach area for guests only, one of the few hotels on Waikiki with such an exclusive section. The property offers two outdoor pools: the Malulani Pool and the Helumoa Playground, which includes a water slide. The full-service spa provides massages, body treatments, and facial treatments in a tropical garden setting, plus a steam room and hot tub.

Rooms

Guest rooms are located in the historic wing or the Mailani Tower, with views of the garden or ocean. Each room has an iPod docking station and a refrigerator with two bottles of water, plus airy windows with tropical decor. The hotel offers suites such as the Apaka Suite with three balconies and the Duke Suite with Diamond Head views.

Dining

The Mai Tai Bar serves tropical cocktails with nightly entertainment and views of Diamond Head. Azure Restaurant offers fresh local seafood caught daily, while Surf Lanai serves breakfast and lunch with dishes like the pink pancakes. The Aha Aina dinner show is Honolulu's only oceanfront luau, and the on-site bakery sells local pastries such as guava croissants and snowballs.

Location & Nearby

The hotel is located on Waikiki Beach, steps from the sand and within a 5-minute walk to the International Market Place. The Honolulu Zoo is one mile away, and the hotel is surrounded by shopping and restaurants on Kalakaua Avenue. The property's central position makes it easy to access boat tours and day excursions.
