Overlooking the ocean and across the street from Waikiki Beach, this 14-story hotel resembles a Chinese lantern and offers guests a whimsical, ocean-themed atmosphere.

Surrounded by massive, modern high-rises, it seems quaint and retro. But it shares just the same view of the Pacific for much less money.

From our open-air lobby with seascape murals and blue neon lights to the spectacular views of our guest rooms, this hotel offers an enjoyable experience you won't soon forget. As for convenience, you'll definitely find it here - we're right across the street from Waikiki Beach.

Other hotel amenities include a guest activities desk and free daily newspapers. Guest rooms have flat screen TVs and mini-refrigerators.

There's no entertainment scene here, but central Waikiki is right outside the lobby, so it's no big deal. Kids receive a free sand pail and shovel upon check-in. On-site parking is reasonably priced, at least by Waikiki standards.

All the attractions of Waikiki - its restaurants, shops, and nightclubs, not to mention the beach - are within walking distance. Surfboard racks, beach mats, rafts, and other gear are available.
