Oahu Hotels

A hotel can either complete or completely ruin your vacation, and it is the second most important choice you will make for your trip next to your itinerary itself. Oahu has the most lodging options out of all the islands, and there is something here that caters to almost everyone.

The Kahala Resort and Hotel has been visited by multiple celebrities ever since its opening in 1964. Notable visitors include Frank Sinatra, Tom Cruise, Billy Joel, every US president from Nixon to Clinton, Queen Elizabeth and the Dalai Lama. Guests can do everything here from swimming with dolphins in Dolphin Lagoon to get a private massage in a 550 square foot private suite. Each room has a unique view of either Waikiki beach or the Dolphin lagoon.

The Royal Hawaiian has been attracting visitors since 1927. This hotel is remembered by all of its guests, as it is the only entirely pink hotel to grace the beaches of Waikiki.
