Guests can also explore the dynamic city of Honolulu, touring historical attractions like Iolani Palace, or enjoying the diverse shopping and restaurant experiences on offer.

It’s bustling every single night, and it does exceptionally well” he shares. With the recent addition of Dada Salon and Café, voted the number one salon in Honolulu, the hotel has a variety of food & beverage options also including Starbucks and Café 410.
