Queen Kapiolani Hotel

Honolulu, Oahu

Virgin rating

The hotel

Named after the beloved wife of Hawaii’s last king, Queen Kapiolani is something of a Waikiki landmark, paying homage to Hawaii’s majestic heritage and unique culture with a modern twist. Overlooking the sandiest stretch of Waikiki Beach, guests can enjoy stunning views of Diamond Head from the balconies of their newly renovated rooms, each and every one of them furnished in breezy Island style. As a change from the beach, laze beside the pool instead, dipping in every now and again to cool off. Although there are restaurants all around you, the hotel’s own Kulana is highly recommended, not just for buffet favourites but for its sweeping panoramic views! Pre-dinner, chill awhile at the Deck Pool, sipping on your favourite cocktail – a Mai Tai perhaps?

I stary at the Quen Kapiolani every time I come to Oahu. The hardest thing about the Queen is spelling Kapiolani. The rest is easy.

Fantastic service, great staff, comfortable room, amazing view, a minute walk to beach . All in all, a great experience. Very nice relaxing feel to the place, and much more chill than many of the other resorts along the strip. Would definitely stay here again!
