The rooms feature a private lanai, air conditioning, high speed WiFi and flat screen TV. Suites also come with Bose Bluetooth speakers and a Nespresso coffee maker.

There’s a convenience store on-site for all your daily essentials, or simply hop aboard the bus to browse the luxury stores and specialty shops along Kalākaua Avenue. Don’t forget to visit Waikiki Specialty Farmer’s Market or KCC Farmer’s Market on Saturday mornings.
