A sea-view verandah opens to a courtyard shaded by a banyan tree, and to the beach beyond. Vacation travelers and celebrating couples are attracted to this hotel.
Amenity highlights: Afternoons, Waikiki’s most historic verandah becomes the setting for traditional afternoon tea. Three times a week, a Hawaiian guide reveals the history of this building.
