Of all Hawaii hotels, only The Pink Palace of the Pacific has remained an icon of luxury and romance for over 75 years. A Waikiki landmark recognized around the world, The Royal Hawaiian Hotel is the ultimate vacation destination for honeymooners, families, and anyone seeking elegance from a bygone era. Each of the 528 rooms and suites are unique unto themselves, perfectly wedding modern comfort and old world luxury. In the Royal Tower, each room comes with an intimate lanai for a private vantage point on the ocean. In the Historic Building, elegant furnishings include four-poster beds and Queen Anne-style writing desks. And for unsurpassed sophistication, the Prestige Suites offer spacious accommodation and a host of select amenities. For the chefs of The Royal Hawaiian, preparation and presentation demand equal attention. Every meal is an occasion to remember. The Surf Room, the fine dining restaurant, is a showcase of continental classics and contemporary Hawaiian cuisines that draw inspiration from the ocean's daily bounty and locally grown ingredients. For casual dining, the breezy Beach Club Cafe features light menus of American fare and simple island cuisine. For a truly extraordinary Hawaiian meal, don't miss the legendary oceanfront luau. And for tropical drinks, live music, and ocean views, the Mai Tai Bar is a must.

Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - The Royal Hawaiian
Alexander B., Dettenhausen, Germany. September, 2006
"1) I was very pleased to be greeted right at the entrance and adorned with a lei. 2) I was very pleased that the hotel employees addressed me by name. 3) One employee escorted me to my room. A few minutes after he had left, another employee came with my luggage. Why couldn't a single employee perform both tasks, thus minimizing interruptions? 4) The lay-out of the Royal Hawaiian is rather complicated, and I always had difficulty finding my way around (in spite of the fact that I have stayed at this hotel repeatedly over the years). 5) The outdoor shower facilities (only two nozzles!) near the pool / beach entrance are inadequate for the number of guests. One inevitably must wait in line to rinse off sand / seawater. 6) After arriving at the dining room at 7:00 p.m., I discovered a sign stating that, until 8:30 p.m., only guests who had called in advance to reserve seating would be allowed in. If this is truly necessary, I should have been asked upon checking in if I would like to reserve a table for dinner."
Linda R., Honolulu, HI. September, 2006
"The view was amazing. Ocean, Diamond Head. Room service was speedy and the food was better than average. Unfortunately the room was a disappointment. Small, average furnishings...not really a value for the rates. you definitely pay for the view. The old part of the hotel is lovely. Gardens are beautiful."
