Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel - Honolulu, Hawaii - Award-Winning Hotel Renovation


From its vantage point in the heart of Waikiki, the 37-story Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel commands excellent views of the Pacific Ocean and the mountains of Oahu. A $65 million renovation in 2007 has given the resort a brand-new feel, winning praise from Conde' Nast Traveler and Honolulu Magazine and earning it Hilton Hospitality's 2008 Diamond Award for Best Overall Accommodations.

The 601 deluxe rooms here range from standard kings and two double-bed units to ocean-view executive guestrooms and one-bedroom suites with parlors and 610~1,200 square feet of floor space. The decor combines exotic Zebrano and Wenge woods from South America with vibrant Hawaiian colors. The luxurious bathrooms have been designed using Crema Marfil marble and natural stone, and they feature La Source bath amenities by Crabtree & Evelyn.

All rooms have Hilton Serenity Beds with Serta Suite Dreams Mattresses, flat-screen 42'' plasma HDTV multi-media monitors, and workspaces with ergonomic chairs. Basic amenities are refrigerators, laptop safes, two dual-line phones with voicemail, irons, ironing boards, hair dryers, and complimentary Kona Blend coffee for Cuisinart pod-type coffee makers. High-speed Internet access is available for a nominal daily charge.

With visitor comfort in mind, the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio hotel is 100% smoke-free. Executive Level rooms on the higher floors have access to the private Club lounge, with complimentary continental breakfasts, evening pupus (hors d'oeuvres) and honor bar cocktails.

The lobby lounge offers free Wi-Fi Internet access, as do most of the public areas of the hotel. That includes the 10th floor pool deck with its comfortable lounge chairs, adjacent to the heated outdoor swimming pool, snack bar, and whirlpool. There is also a 24-hour business center and a fully equipped fitness room for guest use.

Banquet and meeting facilities are available for booking, too. Over 17,000 square feet of divisible meeting space, outfitted with cutting edge technology, can be used for conferences, trade shows, social functions and receptions for two to 550 guests. The centerpiece is the 8,033-square-foot Grand Ballroom on the third floor, while 2,100 square feet of meeting space is available on the floor directly above it. Experienced coordinators are on hand to help arrange decorating and catering, and they make sure every detail is taken care of for wedding ceremonies, gala dinners, and private parties.

Two popular bars can be found on the premises. The Hang 10 Pool Bar on the 10th floor serves light menu items and drink specials from breakfast through dinner. The Lobby Bar near the front desk is a sophisticated lounge, offering lunch and dinner service as well as exotic cocktails.

For sit-down dining, the MAC 24-7 restaurant has been rated among Hawaii's top five hotel venues. It offers Modern American Cooking (MAC), featuring fresh local ingredients, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Takeout is available through the MAC 2-Go counter, and anything on the menu can be ordered direct to guestrooms, as MAC 24-7 is also the hotel's room service provider.

The Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio Hotel is located at 2500 Kuhio Avenue, Waikiki Beach, HI 96815. Free valet-only parking is provided to all guests.
