Waikiki Beach Tower

Hotel Description

You know what? The Waikiki Beach Tower is one of those places that actually lives up to its name – I mean, you’re literally steps from the sand, and I’m talking like a two-minute walk where you can still hear the waves from your room. When I first walked into the lobby, honestly, it felt more like stepping into someone’s really nice condo building than a typical hotel, which makes sense because most of the units here are actually condos that get rented out.

The thing that really got me was how quiet it stays despite being right in the heart of Waikiki. You’d think with all the action on Kalakaua Avenue just around the corner, you’d be dealing with street noise all night, but the building’s set back just enough that you get the convenience without the chaos. Most of the units I’ve seen have these decent-sized lanais – and I mean actual usable outdoor space, not those tiny hotel balconies where you can barely fit a chair. The kitchens are properly equipped too, which is huge because eating out for every meal in Waikiki will drain your wallet faster than you’d think. I actually ended up cooking breakfast most mornings and just grabbing coffee from the little place on Lewers Street.

What I really appreciate about this place is that it feels like you’re staying where locals might actually live, not in some tourist bubble. The beach access puts you right near where the locals surf in the mornings – you’ll see the same faces out there every day around 6 AM, and it’s honestly pretty cool to watch. The building itself has that slightly worn-in feel that comes with being established, but not in a bad way – more like a favorite pair of jeans. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (welcome to Waikiki, right?), but there’s a garage situation that works out fine once you figure out the system. The only thing that might catch you off guard is that housekeeping isn’t daily like at traditional hotels, but honestly, with a kitchen and decent space, you don’t really need it. For a 4-star spot with an 8 rating, it delivers exactly what you’d hope for – a genuine local-ish experience without sacrificing the comfort of having tourist amenities nearby when you need them.

  뷰가 와이키키 해변을 바로 앞에서 볼 수 있게 좋았고 취사가 가능해서 한국 음식도 간단하게 해먹을 수 있어서 좋았습니다
  
  큰 방 2개에 침대도 커서 잠자기도 편하고 개인적으로는 비데가 있는 것도 마음에 들었습니다
  
  테라스에 선베드나 테이블 등이 잘 갖추어져 있어서 편했고 다리미나 진공 청소기 빗자루까지 세심하게 갖추어져 있었습니다
