Pretty, tranquil hotel 100 yards from Waikiki Beach
Located on a peaceful, low-traffic street only 100 yards from Waikiki Beach, this hotel is a tranquil sanctuary from the high-energy shopping taking place a block away along the Waikiki district's main thoroughfare.
All guestrooms have balconies; rooms are beautifully appointed with muted colors and soft lighting, reflecting meticulous, contemporary Japanese sensibility. Nuances include overhead bedside reading lamps with dimmers; two telephones, one of which has two lines and a data port; and a compact refrigerator.
Though the beach is irresistible, the hotel also provides an eighth-floor open-air pool and sundeck for guests seeking privacy. An adjacent fitness center keeps guests bathing-suit trim following a complimentary full breakfast, American- or Japanese-style.
