With 1,150 rooms, this appealing property is one large hotel that’s divided into a 29-story tower and two wings. It offers a good location just across the street from the beach, on the former estate of Princess Kaiulani, Hawaii’s last princess. The amenities include an outdoor pool, fitness facility, and business center. Among the many dining options are Momoyama, where chefs prepare Japanese dishes tableside; Pikake Terrace, an open-air dining room that features sumptuous buffets; and the Princess Food Court, where guests can chow down on burgers, pizza, sandwiches, stir-fry, and many other international favorites. Hawaiian performers entertain with island music nightly by the pool, and in the Ainahau Showroom, a talented cast presents Creation—A Polynesian Journey, an exciting show with fire-knife dancing, illusions, and ancient and modern dances.
