32 Best Hotels in Honolulu and Pearl Harbor, Oahu

Nestled between Fort DeRussy Beach Park and the Outrigger Reef Resort, the only condo hotel directly on Waikiki Beach is beloved by some for its spaciousness and by others for its quieter, western-end location. Units, which are individually owned and have varying decor and amenities, include studios and one- or two-bedroom suites, each with private lanai and panoramic views. Some units have full kitchens; others have kitchenettes. All suites have washers and dryers in addition to a daily cleaning service (for an additional one-time fee). The property is overseen by two companies: Castle Resorts, which handles most of the rentals, and Outrigger, which manages about 30 units. Guests who book directly with Outrigger have access to the pool and fitness center at the neighboring Outrigger Reef and must check in at the Regency on Beachwalk Waikiki by Outrigger, about two blocks away.

This hotel refreshed in 2023 offers a fun vibe and lively design that mixes modern and traditional island elements, as well as close proximity to the beach, restaurants, and shops—all just three blocks away. There's a high-rise tower and a three-story walk-up building where studio accommodations have kitchenettes. Rooms are small but stylish and well planned, and deluxe corner units feature lanai that overlook Ala Wai Canal, the golf course, and the mountains. There's a pool with loungers, and the hotel offers free chairs and towels for use at the beach. The popular Redfish restaurant serves poke bowls and island-style food, and a coffee shop and speakeasy bar are also on-site.
