Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort and Spa

"Steps from world-famous Waikiki Beach, the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa serves both as a refuge from the stress of city life and a convenient hub to explore Honolulu's buzzing downtown—depending on the trip you want to take. If you choose to soak in the tranquility of the resort for most of your stay, you might find it hard to leave the confines of your private lanai, where views of the seemingly endless Pacific Ocean spread out before you. Once you do explore the grounds, you'll find a swimming pool that overlooks the beach, three restaurants (one of which, Shor, hosts one of Waikiki's largest breakfast buffets), and classes in lei making, ukulele playing, and hula dancing."
