5 star hotels in Honolulu

The hotel and grounds are stunning. The staff were attentive and very friendly. The rooms were comfortable and nicely decorated with fresh towels and beds made daily. Guests here can share space with the Sheraton Hotel, which is a nice bonus. It's a popular spot, so beach and pool lounges can be tricky at times, but the staff will try to accommodate. We enjoyed the early mornings at the coffee bar...

We stayed here having booked through the Fine Hotels Collection with AX Platinum. As such, we got an upgraded room overlooking the ocean, free daily breakfast and some cash credit to use on the property. Our room was small (as is generally the case in Waikiki), but well maintained. The beds were comfy, and the amenities were nice. The only issue we had in our room was that the a/c had a hard time...

We stayed at the Royal Hawaiian during our wedding week, and the experience was exceptional! Special thanks to Melody Swan, the manager, who went above and beyond to help with important wedding details. Her care and attention truly made our stay unforgettable. The hotel’s service, stunning location, and thoughtful staff made everything feel seamless. We highly recommend the Royal Hawaiian for anyone...

Magnificent heritage building which still retains (and celebrates)the charm, romance and grandeur of yesteryear. Incredible front entrance through remarkable trees and tropical gardens. Hotel team members extremely hospitible and helpful. Absolute beachfront location.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating (one woman who brought room service to our son brought him a toy car on one of our last day, which made his day ?). However security came to our door because someone complained that they heard our toddler screaming all day and night, which was not accurate. The man who came to our door seemed to understand that there was nothing we could do, our toddler was...

Excellent experience at the Royal Hawaiian-- the location is wonderful with perfect views of diamond Head and best beach access. The rooms are good, and the food (especially breakfast) is great. I'm a platinum member, and the staff went above and beyond to make us welcome and even upgrade to a room at an busy time. Recommend if location and staff is a priority to you.

Awesome gracious historic hotel with lovely amenities and traditional style. I stayed in the historic building which was a buz of activity but inside the rooms, were spacious, beautifully appointed with nice amenities and very quiet out of the fray of tourist noises and convenient base of operations for the guests. Super clean and the maid staff was polite and gracious when asked for additional water...

Exceptional service - japanese style very efficient management. Best spot on Waikiki beach. Free parking with exceptional valet service.

Lovely and roomy two bedroom condo overlooking the water with a full kitchen (including rice cooker), laundry machine and dryers. Friendly staff. Great for families ☺️ and right in the heart of Waikiki on the strip overlooking the ocean and beaches .. ideal for families, safe and leisurely beach protected by breaks and shallow clear water so your kids can swim while you relax and not worry they will...

Absolute luxury! Free valet parking was a huge bonus. Excellent reception and housekeeping. Rooms were exceptional and so was the view. We stayed 5 nights in Premium Oceanfront, level 32. We will be back!!

Our 2bdrm Ocean View suite was phenomenal! Perfect location! We had VIP seating every evening to watch the sunset. It was unforgettable! The staff was superbly attentive and we literally felt at home. We will definitely come back again!

Amazing arrival. We were greeted immediately by the valet staff, walked us into the lounge area and assured us that our luggage would be right up. After the amazing check-in, she walked up up to our suite and gave us a tour. Only down fall here is that there was NO adult entertainment. Maybe a bar for the adults would be good. Overall, this place is clean, staff is very friendly and safe for the...

Just finished up a weeks stay at the Aston Waikiki Beach Towers. We had an excellent time. The visited started wonderfully with the valet staff greeting us with Leis and the hotel staff greeting us with juice and water bottles. We received a refreshing cool towel that helped to take away some of our travel weary. The desk staff took the time to ensure we had everything we needed and recommended some...

Loving this resort! Everything about this place has been renovated. This is a diamond if you are able to get a room. There is an infinity pool with a great view of Waikiki Beach. Food is great with multiple restaurants and a buffet. Rooms are spacious and everything is modern. I will be staying here again!

Beautiful hotel and great location! Check in was easy, rooms are good size and very clean. They have a great gym, two tennis courts and a baseball hitting cage that was fun. The breakfast buffet was pricey but worth it.The pool is a good size and overlooks the beach. The beach bar is very chilled and the food is really yummy. All the staff here are great

Hotel is very nice and clean. The staff are very professional and courteous. Super accommodating. They made our PCS departure a pleasant one. They offer great military rates and free parking for TLA. The only down fall is the buffet. The food was good but not $35+ tax good. There were not enough options for $35. Thank you again for all that you do. Would definitely recommend and stay there again.

The hotel is nice they appear to be recently updated and everything seems top notch. The staff has been outstanding and super helpful I couldn't ask for more. The rooms themselves are out dated a bit but not too much in my opinion. The view if very nice if you have an ocean side view. The traffic around town can be a little noisy being from the county it takes some to get used to but that's not the...

Nice clean room. A safe in the room as well enough enough space to unpack if your staying for a few nights. The amenities were a bit badly signposted. The pool is on floor 5 and has a really nice view, sadly the main area was closed from 2pm for a wedding. You could still use the pools and drink service though. The fish tacos were really tasty. The lobby though always has a strange kind of moldy smell...

Absolutely everything. It was exceptional. The staff were so friendly and very helpful. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous and the pool area was beautiful. The restaurants and the pool food was amazing.

This was not our first stay at Halekulani. We our annual visitors and always have a fantastic visit and feel right at home. The staff feels like extended family. Particularly the House Without A Key staff at breakfast, the pools staff and Auntie Melba who leads the Friday morning Back of the House tours. This hotel is an oasis amidst the chaos of Waikiki with direct beach access. Luxury at its finest...

From check in to our sad check out this hotel has customer service and a luxurious ambience down. Our room was beautiful, opening up to a gorgeous courtyard, pool, and ocean view. There was champagne chilling for my husbands birthday and the ice bucket was full each evening. The bed and bath were immaculate and elegant. We dined twice at House Without a Key and had a lovely dinner and sunset with...

This review is for House Without a Key: I came here for an after-valentine's day dinner with my girlfriend. Drinks were great, the Mai tais are really as good as they say. Food was good, perhaps a little expensive. The atmosphere was remarkable! Great view and live music made for a great time

Very magical place. We stayed at the ocean front room on our honeymoon. You'll see beautiful ocean, diamond Head, sunset, with sound of waves and birds. In the evening, they have very classy Hawaiian music and hula show at the terrace downstairs by the beach. We could hear and enjoy the music from our Lanai in the evening. It was magical. Staffs are very attentive, and makes the stay very pleasant...

Had dinner in one of the ballrooms for a fundraising event. Dinner was great, service was excellent. Grounds are clean. Hotel is high class (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) with immaculate gardens and grounds. Restrooms are clean with bidet toilet seats. Hotel is on Waikiki beach strip, with ample shopping, restaurants and swimming. Expect to spend some money.

If it were possible to rate this hotel higher than 5 stars, I would. Excellent location, great people, management is flawless right down to the small details. It was truly a pleasure to stay here.

Trump Waikiki was absolutely amazing. My husband and I just stayed there for a week for our honeymoon and it was incredible. They accommodated us in every way possible. The staff our very passionate about what they do and it shows. They are so friendly, caring, and accommodating without being too "gimmicky" or as if they're being forced to care. Check in was so quick and Doug showed us around and gave...

Julia provided the greatest arrival experience we have every experienced at any hotel, not just in Hawaii. She was so personable and made us feel very welcome every day that we walked in & out of the entrance to the hotel. She was also extremely nice & friendly to our son and he was so happy to see her each day. Julia just made the entire trip such a pleasure as we got to see & talk to her before heading...

The customer service here is just awesome! The suites are nice and clean. We got one of the top floors with a beautiful view looking out of the beach. The only reason for the four stars is because the showers are really open and it’s so cold when you take a shower. It could be that we’re more conservative, but it’s just uncomfortable taking a shower in the open and it’s freezing cold with AC running...

Service is 5 stars! Wonderful staff here, very friendly and always ready to help. Room is huge, lovely, and the tub is so great. The bed…. A rock, hard and lumpy. Woke up every night with terrible back pain. The pool is small, very small. Like it was an after thought. I would have loved to use it. But it was full of children splashing and jumping off the planters. We were on our 10 anniversary,...

Extraordinary! The hotel’s guest service is more than satisfactory. The hotel is very close to the beach but it is not adjoin to the beach. Whenever you walk to the waikiki beach, they give you a beach bag including a small bottle of water, towel, apple and orange. There is a nice outside pool at the second floor of the hotel. I had a burger at the pool and it was delicious. You can also cook in the...

Very accommodating staff. Beautiful landscape. Delicious food for the price. Crystal clear water. Lots to do, and see. They have dolphins!!

Beautiful hotel with great accommodations My husband and I came here on our honeymoon the service was phenomenal! Dolphins are literally right next 2 the pool! It was absolute paradise!! Their concierge were very informative and helpful they booked most of our excursions the evening prior with no issues would highly recommend staying here!!

I love this Hotel because here, in the pool swimming dolphins,fish,turtles ?

Amazing breakfast/Brunch Buffet. Must try this before leaving Hawaii as well as the different country theme dinner buffet every night Really cool.... Amazing bread pudding and cold tapioca soup with Mellon and fruit bits you can choose to add to it, very unique... I thought it was very odd before I tried it and I found so many new things I've never heard of and some things I've heard of but not tried...

Staff is amazing, well maintained property, awesome restaurants

We went for a wedding reception, and the hotel was first class. Valets were nice and polite, service at the wedding was awesome, and the food was spectacular. The salads were fresh and tasty, fish was fresh, and prime rib was great. The grounds were peaceful and well maintained. All around a 5 star experience.

Clean and modern Always staff available to help Close to the other Hilton hotels so could easily access the lagoon and see the Friday night firework.

Shout out to the kind man at the front desk John. I am a super light sleeper and my room wasn’t as quiet as I needed so John pointed me in the right direction and relocated me to a place with ZERO noise. I am so grateful! I’ve been staying at this hotel for years - since original owners, since Diamond owners, and now with Hilton owning it. I gotta say I approve the new owners and I can’t wait to enjoy...

Very nice, clean, and well maintained hotel in the heart of Waikiki. Did not have a ramp for the stroller, just a lift for a wheelchair. Hotel is next to the beautiful lagoon with lots of entertainment for kids. Pools are nice and clean. Onsite pool bar serves really decent food and drinks.

We had an amazing stay with the Modern. Everything from the get go was superb. Hotel’s location is incredible, short walking distance to Honolulu’s hottest spots and super close to the beach. The staff was friendly, especially John! He is the nicest guy ever! Super friendly and helpful :) Overall I really recommend staying at this hotel plus they have good food at the Grove restaurant ;)

We had an 11 night stay at The Modern and it was very nice. This is more of what we call a home base hotel. You spend the day out exploring and head back home to your room at the end of the day. The pool isn’t anything special but the public lagoon and beach next door is a fun option instead. The bar is great. We had drinks a few times there and service was wonderful. The restaurant is just okay for...

The rooms were nice and modern, the staff are really friendly and helpful.

A beautiful property including our room, with excellent service! We were well taken care of on our honeymoon. Also, we forgot a very sentimental and valuable item and when we got in touch the Ritz Management quickly searched the room and got back to us on how to get the item to us as quickly and safely as possible! Highly recommend and would definitely return! Tara & Tim

Staff was incredible. I was reluctant to use valet parking as $40 a day was steep, but I’m glad we did. Everyone was extremely accommodating and took time to get to know us, make recommendations and make us feel at home. Thank you for an incredible Honey Moon experience!

We had the most wonderful experience at this hotel. The service they provide is next level incredible! The concierge has so much knowledge and were amazing at helping us book cars and restaurants and giving us a tons of options on what to do. The hard part was choosing from the list. The facilities and room were perfect and well maintained. I also enjoyed that there was a kids and adults only pool...

The hotel is nice. I like the gym, swimming pool and restaurants. The breakfast menu is not amazing but... I would recommend the pancakes! They are delicious 😋 The view is great.

Worth the money. The hotel is amazing and they really take care of you. They upgraded our room and left little chocolates and cookies everyday. Additionally every meal from breakfast to dining and drinks we had was all exceptional.

The main reason my first stay in Hawaii was so great was because of this hotel. As soon as I stepped out of the car, the lady greeted me and placed a lei around my neck. Upstairs at the lobby, I had a warm conversation with Mindy. They upgraded my room because it was my friend's birthday which was fabulous. The room was modern, clean, spacious, and had a great view (not beach front but it was still...

Amazing service from everyone at the property! The breakfast buffet was delicious, but our favorite spot was the outdoor bar at the lobby level. Dinner on Friday came with a fireworks show, which was great. The pool is stunning. An infinity pool overlooking the beach is a perfect place to relax without getting your toes full of sand. Can't wait to book my next vacation to the trump resort!

Hotel was very nice. Clean, staff were very attentive and kind, room was a good size, elevator worked great, food on site was excellent, pool and hottub offered great views of the Pacific. The location was THEE best part. We walked or took an Uber everywhere. Beach was a 5 minute walk away. It wasn't in a congested area like some of the other hotels further down the beach. We also really appreciated...

Will not find a better place.

It's a trump hotel, so it's comfortable. Because it is jet luxury, the hotel is on the lower floors, but the facilities and services are first-class.
