Located steps from Waikiki Gateway Park and the King David Statue, with Luxury Row shopping center on its doorstep, The Ritz-Carlton Residences Waikiki Beach is perfectly placed for a fun-packed vacation. In fact, Conde Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2023 named this the #1 Best Hotel in Hawaii.
Luxurious guest rooms and suites are located in the Ewa or Diamond Head Towers, decorated in crisp, fresh neutral tones with hues of the ocean and land. They offer spacious living, all feature ocean-front views, kitchen, private lanai, signature furnishings and free WiFi.
The residences have an upscale gourmet market on-site, selling deli delights, fresh baked goods, barista coffee and fine wines. For exclusive retail experiences, head to Luxury Row, where Gucci, Chanel and Moncler reside.
At Dean & Deluca, relish market-fresh ingredients while La Vie offers a modern interpretation of classic French cuisine. Quiora boasts a menu filled with Italian rustic dishes and Sushi Sho focuses on an exclusive Omakase experience – intimate dining with sushi hand-crafted by Master Chef Keiji Nakaza.
Guests can relax in the twin infinity pools – the highest in Waikiki. Chill out and soak up the sunshine on the picture-postcard deck. Work out in a state-of-the-art fitness center or indulge in a healing spa experience where trained therapists infuse the natural elements to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.
A concierge is also available to craft your ultimate excursion itinerary, whether you wish to visit Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium or hike scenic mountain trails.
One highlight (there are many) to staying here is the daily Afternoon Ritual held at 2pm by the family pool. At this time, guests are invited to try Hawaiian cuisine such as a scoop of purple yam ice cream, and each day the offering is different.
There is no Resort fee to pay here but do remember to factor in the US$50 per car per day parking fee.
