10 Best Hotels in Hawaii 2025: Readers’ Choice Awards | Condé Nast Traveler

"Perched above the heart of Waikiki on Oahu, this 251-room urban oasis showcases modernist design and handpicked accessories that tell a captivating story of Hawaii's melting pot of cultures and Honolulu's past. Works by mid-century visionaries inspired the aesthetic of guest rooms and public spaces, while Hawaiian furnishings from the period were reinterpreted to give the hotel a distinct sense of place. You'll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beach, but we also recommend taking a dip in the property's saltwater pool. Gentler than your average chlorine variety, the pool's perimeter is also lined with cozy cabanas and lush greenery, meaning you can do your laps in ultra-privacy." - Kat Chen
