$$$$, Waikiki
Fodor's Review:
On the eastern edge of Waikiki, this flagship Marriott sits across from Kuhio Beach and close to Kapiolani Park, the zoo, and the aquarium. Deep Hawaiian woods and bold tropical colors fill the hotel's two towers, which have ample courtyards and public areas open to ocean breezes and sunlight. Rooms in the Kealohilani Tower are some of the largest in Waikiki, and the Paokalani Tower's Diamond Head-side rooms offer breathtaking views of the crater and Kapiolani Park. All rooms have private lanai. The outdoor Moana Terrace, three floors up overlooking Waikiki Beach, presents Hawaiian music in the early evenings. The Friday-evening entertainment lineup on the Pualeilani Terrace includes the Tepatasi luau, complete with fire-knife dancers. If you want to keep that laid-back vacation spirit to the very end, use Baggage Direct's mobile skycap service in the main lobby. This TSA certified agency will take your bags and check them through to your final destination right from the hotel. No more schlepping.
