Often referred to as the ‘first lady of Waikiki’, this landmark oceanfront hotel is housed in a gorgeous colonial building in the heart of Waikiki. Though located on a busy main street, this hotel is a serene sanctuary, where you can go for a dip in the freshwater swimming pool, lounge at the beach bar, or dine at any of its restaurants.
