The short version

What staying at Prince Waikiki feels like

Prince Waikiki sits at the western entrance to Waikīkī, overlooking the yacht harbor and Pacific. It is removed from the busiest central blocks but remains walkable to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon, Ala Moana Beach Park, the Hawaiʻi Convention Center, and Ala Moana Center.

The strongest reason to stay is the view. Guest rooms use large floor-to-ceiling windows, and the pool deck looks across the harbor and ocean. The atmosphere is polished and relaxed, making the hotel particularly attractive to couples, repeat visitors, and travelers who value Ala Moana access as much as central Waikīkī.

Make the right match

Who should stay here?

Strong fit for

Ocean-view priorities

The room design and pool deck place harbor and Pacific views at the center of the stay.

Couples and quieter stays

The western location is generally calmer than central Kalākaua Avenue, while dining and shopping remain reachable.

Ala Moana access

A strong option for guests combining Waikīkī with shopping, convention-center visits, or Ala Moana Beach Park.

Consider before booking

Not directly beachfront

The harbor is immediately outside, but guests walk to Duke Kahanamoku Beach, the lagoon, or Ala Moana Beach Park.

Edge-of-Waikīkī location

The quieter setting means a longer walk to Kūhiō Beach, Kapiʻolani Park, and the eastern visitor attractions.

Pool age rule

The signature infinity pool is reserved for guests age 16 and over; the saltwater pool serves all-age swimming.
