Boutique hotel in Waikiki - Voted Top 10 Best Hotels in Hawaii 2024 by Condé Nast Traveler

Accolades & Location

Wayfinder Waikiki was named one of 2024's Top 10 Best Hotels in Hawaii by Condé Nast Traveler, based on over 575,000 reader votes. The hotel sits on the quieter side of Waikiki, a 5-minute walk from Waikiki Beach and overlooking the Ala Wai golf course. The Honolulu Zoo is a 10-minute walk away, and Diamond Head is 3.2 km from the property.

Rooms & Suites

Guest rooms include spacious suites with L-shaped balconies that offer views of the canal, mountains, or Diamond Head. Each room has a high-definition flat-screen cable TV, an in-room safe, and a refrigerator. Premium corner rooms provide wraparound lanais with sunrise views over the canal.

Dining & Bars

The hotel has three on-site dining outlets: the Redfish restaurant (serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner), the Lost + Found poolside bar, and the B-Side coffee house. Daily drink specials are available at the La Vela Wine Garden. A welcome drink token is provided at check-in for the pool bar.

Wellness & Activities

The outdoor saltwater pool is heated and has a partially shaded hot tub, with poolside yoga classes led by instructors Yvonne and Nick. Guests can book a session at the on-site Japanese foot spa or attend the E Ola Koa circuit class with trainer Brenn. A schedule of complimentary activities includes uke lessons, lei necklace making, and poolside stretching.

Family & Pet-Friendly Services

Family rooms are available, and the hotel offers complimentary beach gear including boogie boards, chairs, and towels for guest use. Pet-friendly accommodations are offered for a fee, and luggage storage is free at the 24-hour front desk. Each guest receives free admission to the Bishop Museum, a $38 value.
