About the Hotel
Dubbed the “Pink Palace of the Pacific” The Royal Hawaiian is a 1920’s Spanish-Moorish-style beauty occupying a prime stretch of famed Waikiki Beach on the same spot that once was home to Queen Kaahumanu’s summer palace. The excellent beachfront locale affords private beach access and makes for enviable Ocean views from this iconic Honolulu property. 528 bright rooms and suites blend historic Pacific Islander ambience and of-the-moment décor: dark wood furnishings, nostalgic woven ceiling fan blades and intricately textured gold-and-fuchsia hued floral wallpaper reigns opposite a soothing cream-color palette. 21st century creature comforts such as wide-screen LCD televisions, iPod compatible CD/radio alarm clocks, high-speed Internet access, refrigerators, and laptop-size in-room safes come standard while bathrooms feature high-end complimentary toiletries.

Reviews for The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki
Great place to stay.
The hotel has a lot of history which I like, on the lower level you can read all about it. The hotel rooms are basic, but are full of the necessities one desires. It was a very short and easy walk to the beach. However the beach was very packed through the day. The staff was swift and effect when it came to any request, and always had a smile on their face. When it came to the pool situation it was not what I was expecting. The pool was very small so it was often taken over by younger folks. The food was delicious, they have a cute little cafe where you can find baked goods. The restaurant also has a variety of tasty good, I recommend the French toast bread pudding. Other than the overly crowded beach and the tiny pool I had a great experience.

Best Resort in Honolulu - Waikiki Beach
I really can't say enough wonderful things about this resort. The service at this hotel is the best we have ever experienced. The only guest experience that is similar is Disney World Deluxe Resorts. The food was marvelous, rooms were comfortable, location is right in the heart of Waikiki. The beach and pools are marvelous. We hope to return with our grown children and grandchildren. I don't have one item to complain about with this resort. It was 10/10 in every way. Not sure if I would ever stay anywhere else!

Feeling of Aloha
The Royal Hawaiian is our favorite hotel in the world. We had another great experience yesterday when meeting Luke one of the valets . He asked about our plans for the day and he suggested a local Hawaiian restaurant for us to dine at. It was amazing. Luke was friendly and extremely helpful . We truly enjoyed chatting with him and once again the feeling of Aloha was above and beyond . Thank you Luke.

Old world charm
Loved this hotel!!! It was much calmer than others nearby - had that laid back island vibe - but with all the amenities. We stayed in the newer section. Our room was spacious and lovely with a nice balcony and view of the ocean and Diamond Head. The beds were comfortable. Service was great everywhere. Would love to go back someday.

A real classic!
A really great experience! We arrived early and stayed at the bar till our room was ready. The hotel has a beach and you can reserve chairs and towels which is great. The breakfast is really nice and the dinner restaurants. Make sure you get a mai tai! The hotel is also walking distance from great shops.

I have now stayed at the Royal Hawaiian three times with Luxury Link packages and have never been disappointed! The staff are all courteous and friendly—some have been there for over 30 years!—and the quality of the service is exceptional. Arranging dates and package events was handled very professionally and helpfully by the hotel staff in person and via email. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a serene, graceful and extremely scenic stay right on Waikiki Beach!
