Suites with kitchens, washer/dryers, and ocean views; luxury spa
"The Ritz-Carlton added a much-needed splash of sophistication to Honolulu (and Waikiki in particular) as designed by New York City-based Guerin Glass Architects. "Residential studios and suites" (one-to-four bedroom options, all with balconies and ocean views) replace conventional hotel rooms; there are two knockout eighth-floor outdoor infinity pools; and a 24-hour gym. There's a Dean & DeLuca wine bar and market, a sixteen-seat omakase-style Sushi Sho from chef Keiji Nakazawa, formal French dining at Le Vie, and Italian at Quiora. The spa uses local ingredients like volcanic lava stones, rainforest leaves, and lehua blossoms. Note: washers and dryers are a welcome addition for traveling families." - Kat Chen
