After spending time exploring the North Shore and Windward sides of the island with our friend Whitney, it was time for us to continue our adventure by heading to town! First stop was checking into our hotel.
The Queen Kapi’olani has a great location at the edge of Waikiki, across from the Honolulu Zoo, and near Diamond Head. We love staying in this part of Waikiki and prefer it to other parts of town. It’s out of the hustle and bustle, but still close enough to walk everywhere, and it’s right by Queens Beach, Waikiki Walls, and some of the best surfing on Oahu.
We definitely recommend staying at this hotel! The rooms are beautifully decorated with an awesome mid-century modern vibe.
