An ideally situated Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa presents a premium retreat for travelers seeking to explore Honolulu on the island of Oahu.
Situated on the premises of Hawaiian royalty, this area once housed their historical summer residences. The resort pays tribute to its heritage by crafting a variety of interior and exterior spaces for guests to “assemble in joy and cordiality” in accordance with the Queen’s ideology of Hawaiian hospitality.
The recent $80 million dollar makeover of the resort encompasses a breathtaking one-acre pool deck, overlooking Waikiki Beach with panoramic ocean views. This is among the grandest entertainment platforms on the island, featuring two heated pools and bubbling hot whirlpools. One pool caters to families, while the other is reserved for guests aged 18 and above.
The 1,310 newly adorned guest rooms and suites, all feature a private balcony and Marriott’s Revive Bedding Collection. The soothing blue hues and white ship lap-painted walls evoke a relaxed yet elegant traditional Hawaiian home ambiance.
The lavish suites range from junior suites offering sweeping city and ocean vistas to expansive penthouse suites. Glass doors stretching from floor to ceiling lead to an inviting outdoor seating area where guests can savor the vibrant atmosphere of Waikiki Beach below.
The atmosphere transforms in the evening with the arrival of the Hawaiian fire dancer performing a ceremonial sunset presentation, while guests congregate at the two firepit zones and raised terrace to witness the sun setting over the Pacific Ocean.
Happy Hour is twice daily at Queensbreak Waikiki, recognized as the 2022 Best New Restaurant and New Outdoor Dining spot by Honolulu Magazines. Seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis from 1 to 2 p.m. and 5 to 6 p.m.
Nestled high above Waikiki Beach is the open-air dining venue Queensbreak, named in honor of Queen Liliuokalani. Nightly live entertainment commences at 5:30 p.m., while diners relish an outdoor menu featuring delights like mushroom flatbread, locally caught grilled fish, Wagyu burger, and Huli Huli chicken.
Further dining choices at the resort span Kuhio Beach Grill, d.k Steak House, Sansei Seafood Restaurant and Sushi Bar, and Arancino di Mare. The resort also boasts two Starbucks outlets, one in the Kealohilani Tower and the other in the Paoakalani Tower.
Resort recreational offerings embrace Paint Escape at the Mohala Garden, Barre, Hula and Lei crafting on the Queensbreak Lawn. Discover the art of concocting the perfect mai tai cocktail or shaved ice, and attend a traditional Hawaiian fire performance by the Paoakalani Pool. At night, ‘Dive in Movie’ screenings are available on the Queensbreak Lawn.
Situated opposite a sheltered rock breakwater, there lies a serene swimming beach adjacent to one of the most sought-after accommodations along Waikiki Beach.
