Top Tips

• Housing a whopping 528 rooms and suites, you are absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to where to stay. While all the rooms and suites are equally well-appointed and luxuriously designed, previous guests have suggested forking out a bit of extra cash and book one of the Tower Ocean Front rooms. Not only are these rooms designed with crisp and modern décor that’s simple and stylish, they offer an unsurpassed view of the beach and the ocean.

• You are absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to activities at The Royal Hawaiian. Not only will you have unlimited access to one of Hawaii’s best and most coveted beaches, the hotel actually offers a range of daily activities like yoga classes, surfing classes, Hiu Wai cleansing (a traditional Hawaiian sunrise ceremony), flower lei making, a luau show, and a historical tour.

• If you’re travelling with children, you’ll be happy to know that The Royal Hawaiian is incredibly family friendly. Opening their doors to families of all sizes, they are happy to accommodate with special child-oriented programs, activities and amenities for the youngest travelers. Keeping comfort and ease in mind, The Royal Hawaiian offers amenities like high chairs, booster seats, and children’s TV programming. They even offer special breakfast and lunch menus for the little ones so that even the fussiest guests will be well fed and satisfied.

• What is a trip to a tropical island without an indulgent stint at a luxurious spa? Lucky for you, The Royal Hawaiian has the in-house Abhasa spa. Set in the hotel’s serene tropical garden, the spa offers a wide range of treatments fit for royalty. Whether you choose to indulge in a variety of treatments from classic to local massage styles, traditional to tropical facials, body wraps and cocoons, nail and hair salon services, you will be indulged to oblivion.

• The Royal Hawaiian is located on the island of Oahu which is Hawaii’s third largest (just behind The Big Island and Maui). Therefore, if you want to make the most of your time on the island, it’s recommended that you hire a rental car. That way, you get to see all five sections of the island (Honolulu, Central Oahu, Windward Coast, Leeward Coast, and North Shore) at your own pace and in your own time.
