It's a beautiful hotel, with great beach access, but very pricey. Meals at the restaurants are not very balanced unless you're willing to spend a lot (and I mean a lot) of money. Staff are clearly a bit desperate for tips, which can only be paid in cash. A few improvements, like a front desk card based tip option and a revamping of the dinner / breakfast menu would make this a 5 star experience. Still recommend going. We had a fabulous time.

A magical property with gorgeous 1920s architecture and tropical gardens. Very unlike most surrounding properties/hotels in Waikiki. Parking very convenient. Would definitely choose again and again. A complete and total WOW. We stayed in one of the historical rooms with high ceilings, not the modern tower, which I'm sure is nice too.

I would be hard pressed to stay anywhere on Waikiki, other than the Royal Hawaiian. This is a marvelous hotel. There are two walking paths to the Royal Hawaiian shopping center. One goes straight to the food court, which is awesome! The people at this hotel are beyond marvelous. I think I could write an essay on how wonderful this hotel is, in addition to the people who work here. The pools are marvelous! This hotel shares a pool with slides at the Sheraton. The Mai Tai bar and bakery are wonderful. The shopping is great, and there is quite a bit of shopping at the Sheraton next door.

A treasure!

Absolutely the best hotel experience in Waikiki! The spa staff was exceptional! Morning meditation, historical tours and shops staff are friendly and helpful. The valet had our taxi in less than five minutes and the housekeeping staff had our room looking fresh and tidy every day! The Mai Tai Bar has delicious snack and beverage choices and we enjoyed treats at the RH Bakery! Worth every penny!
