The location could not be better and the beach, whilst busy, is right in front of the hotel. An iconic and historic property not for lovers of minimalism and modern design.

CanadaThe historical room we had on the 6th floor was simply stunning. Our view of the water, Diamond Head and the beach was breathtaking and the location of the hotel in Honolulu is second to none. We honestly didn't want to leave the hotel it was that lovely. Definitely the highlight of our honeymoon. Azure restaurant was one of our favourite meals, get there early at 5.45pm to get the best seat right on the sand.

AustraliaIt is still the grand old lady of Waikiki. I like the building and the rooms, with their classic style. However, if you love ultra modern hotels you won't like it.

AustraliaIt was a real treat to stay at the Pink Palace. We stayed in the new tower and I liked how it restricted the public from the space - the rest of the resort is a tourist attraction so there is little privacy. It was lovely to have complimentary drinks in the evenings and coffee in the mornings, thank you. I also liked having an ice machine on our floor. The Frette robes in the room were divine.

AustraliaStaff and management went above and beyond for my parents anniversary stay (where they honeymooned 35 years ago) - upgrading room to a suite, sending up champagne and chocolates, etc. Sunrise beach walks and breakfast were fantastic. They’d love to stay again!
