Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel

Hotel class:

Hotel overview

• A $30-million renovation completed in late 2002 transformed this hotel on Waikiki's main street across from a salt-water swimming lagoon into a lively, colorful embodiment of the casual Hawaiian fun portrayed in 1960s movies.
• Guestrooms feature vibrant aloha-print bedspreads and headboards. Bamboo-bead curtains depicting a hula dancer partition the closet, and Indonesian teak furniture contributes richness to the decor.
• Color enlivens the third-floor pool terrace, where yellow-and-white lounge chairs rest on lime-and-gray striped mats. Guests vie to occupy two thickly padded pune'e (Hawaiian day beds) beside the large pool.

The hotel's transformation into a bright, invigorating vacation destination was intended to attract young adults, but older folks enjoy the ambience as well. The hotel caters to both, blending regard for Hawaii's past with energy and eager hospitality. A three-panel photograph of hula dancers' flying skirts and feet that decorates elevators contrasts with hotel cultural displays such as antique pig and poi serving bowls and tikis. Neon-green surfboards and traditional tapa prints recall different periods of Hawaii's history.

Property amenities

Comprised of 717 rooms in the 25-story Main Tower and nine-story Mauka Tower, Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel creates a bright, colorful beacon near the eastern edge of Waikiki's beach district. To soothe jet-lagged arrivals, hallways display muted tones and feature circles of light filled with palm-frond shadows. Earth-tone colors dominate on the hotel's exterior. The open-air lobby adjoins the pool deck and provides large tapa-print sofas for weary travelers.
