General description:............................(Back to top)

• The Waikiki Beach Hotel was originally built more than 40 years ago in 1969 and is the Aston's (former Resort Quest) flagship hotel for the Honolulu area. The property is located at the far end of Waikiki, very near the Honolulu Zoo and Kapiolani Park. In the 4 decades from it's construction it changed several times ownership, management companies and names, it was even a Holiday Inn back in the 80's.
  The hotel has a second floor front desk and pool area, accessible via escalators and elevators and a ground floor lobby with stores and a port cochere.
  For years it had 2 towers, the main front one closest to the ocean and a back or "Mauka" tower (mauka means mountain in hawaiian) in the back. This Mauka Tower was very old and was finally sold in 2006 and has become a separate hotel called Renew.
  The hotel underwent several renovations over the years, the last one a few years back elevated the star rating of the hotel from 2 to 3 stars.
  This hotel is number "72" within the yellow zone of our waikiki map, click here to see it's location in relation to other hotels in Waikiki.

• This hotel charges a $15 to $25 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.
• The hotel also houses a semi-open air restaurant bar called Tiki's that plays music until very late every night. Noise may be a real problem here depending on what direction your room faces.
• This hotel hotel tends to be too expensive for it's category, if you need to be in that side of Waikiki, you may want to try the Marriott that is on the next city block on Kalakaua Ave.(number 71 on our map) the rates are very similar and the hotel is a lot better (it is a 4 stars).
• If you are planning to go to the beach in front of this hotel, keep in mind that is not very wide. Nice wide beaches can be found at the Ala Moana beach park, Kailua and Waimanalo but no hotels are available near those beaches.
• Like all hotels in Waikiki, parking is extra and in the case of this hotel is also VERY limited. If you are planning to stay in this hotel you may want to rethink that car rental since parking is on a first come first serve basis (cannot be reserved).
• Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at (808) 394-2112 for more information.030712
