Kaʻiulani Wing rooms
A value-oriented entry point for guests prioritizing location over the newest design or widest views.
Waikīkī hotel guide
A large, centrally located Marriott hotel one crosswalk from the beach, with three distinct room wings, a lively pool courtyard, casual dining, and immediate access to Kalākaua Avenue.
The short version
Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is built for travelers who want to stay in the middle of Waikīkī. The hotel occupies the former ʻĀinahau estate near Kalākaua Avenue, the International Market Place, and the Moana Surfrider beach crossing.
The property is large and varied. The refreshed ʻĀinahau Tower carries the newest room design and strongest higher-floor views, while the Princess and Kaʻiulani wings offer different positions and price points. The pool, Splash Bar, entertainment, and central location create an active, straightforward resort base.
Make the right match
The beach, shopping, dining, public transport, and major Waikīkī landmarks are immediately accessible.
A practical central option for guests who value Marriott benefits and a broad range of room categories.
The hotel works well as a base when most days will be spent at the beach, around Waikīkī, or exploring Oʻahu.
Room age, outlook, balcony style, and proximity to the pool vary. Compare the exact wing and category before booking.
The surrounding streets, courtyard, and public spaces can feel active throughout the day and evening.
Confirm the current destination fee, parking charge, and included benefits for the selected rate.
Sleep well
The hotel is divided among the ʻĀinahau Tower, Princess Wing, and Kaʻiulani Wing. The refreshed ʻĀinahau Tower uses an updated coastal palette and offers many of the property’s strongest ocean and city views.
Most categories include private lanais, but view and room details differ by wing. Travelers who care about renovation status or ocean outlook should book the named tower and view category rather than relying on a general room label.
