  • The Hilton name is a very recognizable brand in the hotel industry.
  • The hotel is located on the widest part of the public beach fronting Waikiki on a 22 acre of prime real estate land and includes 7 towers surrounded by tropical gardens.
  • It offers several pools, one with a water slide, as well as the access to a public salt water lagoon situated next to the public beach. Stores, restaurants and bars complete the resort type atmosphere.
  • Every Friday after dawn, the Hilton Hawaiian Village displays aerial fireworks on the beach for everybody to enjoy.

  • This hotel charges a $20 to $30 A DAY of what they call "amenities fee". This is in addition to the $25 to $30 parking fee that you would be charged if you want to park a car. These fees are NOT included in your rate and will be billed to you at the time of check in.
  • Most travelers that seek 4 star properties want to be in the middle of everything, well, this hotel is not, and that turns off a lot of people. It is not far from the International Market Place but some people feel that way, in fact it feels so far from "everything", that people tend to stay in the hotel more than they otherwise would and there are those that think that they did not come to Hawaii to spend all the time in a Hotel. Visitors tend to gravitate to the blocks around the International Market Place in the evenings and for that reason many prefer to be in a more central location.
  • About 25 years ago the name "village" seemed appropriate since there were only 3 towers built and the rest was open space and gardens. Now it is starting to look more like a concrete jungle. Since then they have ballooned to 8 towers and counting since they unveiled their latest expansion plan to build 2 more huge towers that will among other things, eliminate the famous Rainbow Bazaar, a quaint and extensive area of low rise Japanese stile buildings that has given the property a distinctive style for decades.
  • Bottom line, go to the center of Waikiki (areas red or blue in our Waikiki map) you will enjoy your stay more.51211
