Waikiki

The long beach and Kalakaua Avenue behind it – the island's century-old hotel row, with Diamond Head at the far end.

Golden hour over Waikiki

The collection

3 hotels

Five-star · Waikiki

Nine suites on nine floors – Waikiki's only five-star, and it never wanted to be bigger.

From $3,300 per night

Four-star · Waikiki

Waikiki's 1907 grand dame – five oceanfront acres, one kiawe tree and a hush the rest of the beach never learned.

From $800 per night

Four-star · Waikiki

Residences, not rooms – two towers at the gateway to Kalakaua Avenue, with a Tokyo sushi master's only American counter downstairs.

From $700 per night

Thirty miles west on the leeward coast, a sheltered lagoon and resort quiet – a different island from Waikiki.
