Just imagine walking in the footsteps of kings and queens. Waikiki is located on the island of Oahu on the lower southern tip. With beautiful lush gardens, ponds, white sand beaches, and tropical sunsets. In Waikiki, the former Ainahau Estate was the home of the last Princess of Hawaii - Victoria Kaiulani and her father, Archibald Cleghorn, the Govenor of Oahu. Several breath taking Waikiki hotels are across the street from Waikiki Beach, in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Waikiki Hotels are steps away from the Waikiki Aquarium, International Marketplace, Honolulu Zoo, 500-acre Kapi'olani Park and the magnificent views of the dormant volcano Diamond Head. World-class Waikiki hotels with familiar names like Hilton, Sheraton, Hyatt and historic hotels from the early 20th century (such as the Moana Surfrider Hotel and the Royal Hawaiian Hotel). Waikiki Hotels are only 10 miles from the Honolulu Airport (HNL).
In earlier days, Waikiki was several miles larger. The neighboring valleys of Manoa and Palolo was orginally part of old Waikiki. The name “Waikiki” means "spouting water," a reference to the rivers and springs that richly flowed into the area. In the mid to late 1800s, Waikiki served as a vacation retreat for the kingdom’s royalty. Kamehameha IV, Kamehameha V, Lunalilo, Kalakaua, Liliuokalani and Princess Kaiulani were among the dignitaries who maintained residences in the area.
Other top attractions near Waikiki hotels include the Kahanamoku Lagoon, the statue of Duke Kahanamoku ("Father of modern surfing”), Kapiolani Park, Kuhio Beach, Waikiki Beach Walk (a place for shopping, nightlife, and cuisine.), Kalakaua Avenue (Waikiki's main strip with world-class hospitality, shopping, dining, and entertainment), Diamond Head State National Monument, and Kapahulu - offering the best in local food.
