"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...

"The room is bigger than what I expected. It's a corner apartment, with windows to view the surrounding and great fresh air if you open both balcony door and kitchen window. You have a glimpse of the diamond head from the kitchen and the mountain view from the living room/bedroom. The laundry room is few steps away. The host was very accommodative with our request for late check out. Will definitely try to stay here again in the future."

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.

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.

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