The hotel is like a going back some decades in time, the architecture, the hall and lobby with big fans, rocking chair in the veranda facing a beutiful tree and gardens, the beach is magic, but chairs and umbrellas with a fee. The rooms are different in size ( it´s an old building ) but mine was very comfortable, only... More

My husband and I recently stayed in the tower in a king ocean front room for 5 nights. The hotel is a true oasis in busy Waikiki. The position of the hotel is perfect .. Quiet, serene, on the beach. Mai Tai bar is wonderful for a drink or snack. The royal hawaiin shopping centre has some great restaurants on... More

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days at the end of April. The room was small, and the balcony quite ugly with painted concrete floor and dividing wall. The rooms have shutters and you can hear them open and close next door and above. The bathroom was awful. The shower was in the bath right next to the toilet.... More

We were greeted by courteous valet & bellman. While checking in (which was quick) we were given hibiscus tea and cool clothes to refresh with. The grounds are stunning, the large porches with rocking chairs & couches are more than inviting. We did have drinks and an appetizer the Mai Tai Bar. It was a nice place to grab a... More

Overall, we really liked this hotel. It is a beautiful hue of pink. Service is generally good. We stayed in the heritage section. The rooms are nice but rather small. You can walk to the Royal Hawaiian mall in less than a minute through the garden. The hotel is on the beach and the tower rooms face the Pacific ocean.... More

This hotel has the best location on Waikiki beach. The staff, service are outstanding. You don't have to fight for a lounger around the pool. The sand is a few steps away. The Mai Tai bar on the beach is awesome for sunset cocktails. Well worth the money.

Staying in the "Pink Palace of the Pacific" was a fabulous experience, like going back in time to an age of elegance and style. Its like a grand hacienda villa, built in the 1920s and the charm has been retained. We had a junior suite with ocean views. Two big beds and a parlour style living room with big windows... More

We stayed here for three nights before heading to Maui. As a Starwood Luxury Collection Hotel, we had certain expectations, we were very disappointed. First the pros: Location - The RH is in a great location in the center of Waikiki beach. Directly on the beach and with easy access to shopping and restaurants, I can't think of a better... More
