2365 Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 922 3111 http://www.moanasurfrider.com |
One of two original Waikiki hotels, this beauty first opened its doors in 1901 and has been the queen of Kalakaua Boulevard ever since. The turn-of-the-century architecture is lovely; the lyrical Colonial/Hawaiian feeling has been maintained throughout many additions and expansions. Over the years this fine hotel has accumulated a collection of beautiful Hawaiian quilts that are now displayed in the halls and meeting areas. The plush guest rooms and suites provide guests with the utmost in comfort, privacy and luxury. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Nice and economical |
2070 Kalakaua Avenue Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 800 247 1903 http://www.waikikigatewayl.com/ |
As its name implies, this hotel sits right at the start of the famous Waikiki Beach district. Many visitors think the location is one of the best in Honolulu, especially now that Hawaii's new convention center has opened two blocks away. This is what the management calls a "no nonsense place," but that doesn't mean cheap or tacky. The rooms are of ample size and very comfortable. The staff is friendly without being pushy, and families are welcome. The understated and lovely lobby makes a great first impression. There is an activities desk where guests can book snorkeling, boating and other activities. One of Honolulu's finest seafood eateries, Nick's Fishmarket, is on the ground floor.
