Hotel Lānaʻi

Hotel Lānaʻi is a charming and intimate property with a lot of character. The **service is warm and attentive**, making you feel right at home from the moment you check in. The check-in process itself is quick and easy, which is always appreciated after a day of travel. The **restaurant is a real highlight**—the food is flavorful, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. All of the cocktail juices are made fresh, which makes the drinks stand out compared to your typical bar. If you’re dining there, do yourself a favor and **ask the restaurant to make you a local-style loco moco using their lamb ribs**—it’s unique, ono! As for the accommodations, the **beds are on the softer side**. Some guests might love the extra plushness, while others (like me) might find them a bit too soft—but that’s more a matter of personal preference than a flaw. One small drawback is that there isn’t a traditional **lobby or lounge space** to relax in. There are some chairs in the hallway, but it doesn’t feel like a place you’d linger for long. That said, the hotel’s overall vibe and setting more than make up for this minor shortcoming. **Overall:** Hotel Lānaʻi is a gem—authentic, welcoming, and an excellent choice if you want to enjoy great food, great service, and a uniquely local experience.

Recently renovated hotel in great condition; great location in town, like an escape retreat, friendly islanders, very lush green area in a dry island! It was my wife’s birthday, they presented her a cake with candle and an ice cream, then had the whole restaurant sing “happy birthday!” for her.

Very nicely redecorated vintage hotel. Efficient and friendly staff. Great location. Main downside was our very cramped room. No chairs or any place to sit. We had a shared lanai, which helped some. Hotel restaurant is closed on Sun, and Mon. We would recommend though.

Small quaint hotel right in city center. Admittedly, city center is about a block long across both sides of Dole Park. The toilets are the best amenity this hotel offers. ||The building itself has a lot of plantation history so that nice. The room is updated and aesthetically pleasing. ||The shower pressure is light and there really isn't hot water. There is warm water to shower. ||It was disappointing that the hotel had no body lotion. Such a basic amenity. It's a good alternative to save money on a hotel when compared with Four Seasons and Sensie. ||Staff was cordial. I would stay again if my plan would be outside of the room 95% of the day. No room to walk around in your room and I booked the room with a porch thankfully. That gave us some room to move around.

Air conditioning is broken in my room. It's obviously not working properly. Front desk told me to just lower the temperature to 60 as low as possible and wait 10 minutes. I did that 2 hours ago. They should instead transfer me to a room with AC that works. But.... nope.

Quaint hotel with tech forward rooms. I enjoyed all the tech in the room. Shades, lights and fan all operated by a panel which was nice. I loved the toto toilets just as others mentioned. The heated seat for girlies is such a treat. Also, liked the attached restaurant. Food was good, not great. Service was great. Overall, recommend as a 3 star hotels. They missed body lotion and having basic trash can in the room. Note: the rooms are very small! The porch upgrade is worth it.

Stunning and quaint, "best kept secret" for lodging on Lana'i. Historical building, with incredible landscaping, and modern, well appointed redesigned interiors.

Hotel Lanai is a gem in the middle of town that offers an unparalleled experience. With only 11 rooms, this boutique historic hotel provides an intimate atmosphere that makes guests feel like family. We were blown away by the full service restaurant on property that served mouthwatering dishes and had an impressive wine selection with a great happy hour.. The king size room with a patio facing town was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hotel's location was within walking distance to local markets, hiking trails, and breathtaking views on a morning walk. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable stay! Shout out Ferlyn (Front Desk), Jacob (bartender) Jordan (hotel restaurant), Christian (Chef), Chuck (Master Sommelier) and Sayla (Housekeeper).
