The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort, Waikiki

I Took a Family Vacation to Hawaii That Combined Relaxation and Adventure

"An iconic pink Art Deco hotel on Waikiki Beach that epitomizes old-school Hawaiian glamour—historic celebrity guests, lush gardens, and a postcard-perfect beachfront setting—where guests can relax poolside with mai tais and enjoy immediate access to the famous shore and Diamond Head views. Its storied exterior and classic resort trappings make it a natural stop for visitors spending a night or two in Honolulu." - Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs Flora Stubbs is the executive editor of Travel + Leisure.
