Queen Kapiolani Hotel – Honolulu, Hawaii
Queen Kapiolani Hotel | 150 Kapahulu Ave | Honolulu, Hawaii 96815| 1-808-922-1941
Following a $35 million renovation back in 2018, The Queen Kapi’olani Hotel speaks to all that Hawaii offers. The hotel is located on Kapi‘olani Park, —where Diamond Head meets Waikiki, and is situated steps from the surf breaks of Waikiki Beach and the bustling shopping and nightlife of Waikiki.
Built in the mid-1960s during Waikiki’s Golden Age as one of Honolulu’s grand full-service hotels,
the Queen Kapi‘olani’s reimagining embraces its heritage with a retro-chic aesthetic while
incorporating modern enhancements that meet the needs of today’s travelers.
At 19 stories, the hotel offers 315 guest rooms, a large open-air lobby that fronts Kapi‘olani Park, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and an 8,000-square-foot third-floor lanai (outdoor deck) and pool. This unique space—endearingly referred to as the hotel’s outdoor living room—features a new restaurant, bar and lounge, and a pool. Perfect for sunbathing, taking in the sunset with a cocktail in hand, or snapping a family photo with Diamond Head as the back drop, the thirdfloor lanai offers stunning panoramic views of the surf break at Waikiki Beach, the lush green lands of Kapi‘olani Park, and Diamond Head.
The Queen Kapi‘olani’s rooms offer unparalleled views of Diamond Head as well as stunning
ocean views. Transformed into comforting retreats, the refreshed guestrooms incorporate
coastal color palettes, modern amenities, large new windows, and individual lanais. The
furniture, hand-selected by renown local design firm Philpotts Interiors, also aligns with the hotel’s
retro-chic vibe.
In addition, the unveiling introduces a new culinary concept, DECK. The Queen Kapi‘olani
partnered with Plan Do See to create the fun, yet relaxed restaurant, which serves cuisine
inspired by local fresh catch and produce in a sharable style, as well as an array of craft
cocktails.
The perfect destination for conferences, weddings, and groups of all types, the hotel offers The
Le‘ahi Room, Le‘ahi Lanai, and Le‘ahi pre-function spaces, which together provide over 5,000
square feet of indoor and outdoor event space capturing the same aloha sensibilities.
Designed as an extension of the surrounding upscale neighborhoods of Waikiki’s Gold Coast,
Kaimuki and Kahala, the hotel’s open-air lobby provides a place for locals and guests to relax.
The lobby also features several retail outlets including Knots Coffee Roasters., offering a fun
fusion of coffee by day and wines and small-batch local beers by evening. Top quality surfboard
storage for those seeking a convenient and safe place to keep their equipment before their
next visit to the beach is also available.
Finally, in keeping with the Queen Kapi‘olani’s community-oriented legacy, popular local artists
were commissioned to create exclusive pieces that accent the lobby and common areas.
The Queen Kapi‘olani Hotel, Waikiki Beach is open during renovation, with its completed
transformation unveiling this summer.
