"This property is really in the heart of it all. Easy walking distance to beaches, shopping, groceries, restaurants, nightlife, and more. Being a corner unit with 2 lanais was a definite bonus. Lots of light and great ocean and city views. Dedicated parking spot was also a real luxury. The unit was very clean and Lia was helpful and responsive throughout the reservation and rental process. Another bonus was that this unit was stocked with lots of great supplies which made hanging at the beach...

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach

4/10 Poor
"Positives- the staff were amazing and incredibly friendly/accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was ok. Negatives- I paid extra for a diamond head view. Not only could I barely see it (unlike the advertised pictures they show on here to make it more appealing) but my balcony wouldn’t open. I feel like I was ripped off for the extra however much for the “view” I received but whatever… The shower had horrible pressure & literally stopped and squeaked at multiple moments during so… there’s that. The toilet also screamed every time it was flushed which meant you couldn’t flush if you needed to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. Really weird. It was okay because we were barely in the room but I definitely won’t be booking here again. 2.5/5"

What is a historic hotel like in Waikiki?
Historic hotels give guests the opportunity to stay in a place recognised with a national historic designation.

These types of hotels in Waikiki typically preserve authentic characteristics like traditional architecture and period features in their public spaces or guestrooms.
What is the difference between a historic hotel and a heritage hotel?
The two are similar. The term "historic hotel" is more common in the U.S., while you'll often hear "heritage hotel" in Asia and Europe. Historic hotels tend to put more importance on the physical building and architecture. A heritage hotel draws meaning mainly from the cultural value that the place has and how it inspired the surrounding community.
Do historic hotels in Waikiki have modern facilities?
Yes. Every effort is made to preserve treasured traditions and historic facades, but interiors include modern conveniences and safety features.

In Waikiki, booking a historic hotel doesn't mean you will stay in a place that's rundown.
