Jetsetter "Oahu roughly translates as “gathering place,” and with more residents and visitors than any other island in Hawaii, it makes good on that promise." Full review

Go to the beach early in the day and bring your mask and flippers for superb snorkeling.

"Formerly the W Waikiki, this scenic and stylish 50-room boutique hotel is about a block from the beach and a half-mile from Waikiki's crowds." Full review
Lonely Planet "The former 'W' hotel has toned down its hip, cutting-edge design and ended up transformed into a classy, boutique-style destination hotel." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This small luxury hotel at the foot of Diamond Head has light, airy rooms with Balinese furnishings."
Star Service "Anchoring the south end of Waikiki (a five-minute stroll from the action), adjacent to tony Sans Souci Beach, this establishment is next to the more conservative but superior New Otani." Full review

Filtered views of the beach are the best you can ask for here, but it’s the Diamondhead vistas that get people’s attention.
BlackBook "Formerly a W Hotel, little has changed in the Lotus takeover. Killer hotel with killer bars and restaurants to boot."
Gayot "Formerly the W Honolulu, this chic hotel is a fusion of Asian-inspired decor and warm Hawaiian hospitality."
Travel + Leisure "The Aqua Lotus at Diamond Head, formerly the W Waikiki, is a 50-room boutique hotel at the foot of Diamond Head and about a half-mile from the beach in Oahu’s Kapiolani Park." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Close enough for a quick stroll to all of the restaurants, cafes, and shops, the Lotus Honolulu is perfect for those who love to be in the thick of the action as well as peace and serenity. " Full review
Frommer's "With dark hardwood floors, platform beds, granite-tiled bathrooms...little touches like morning yoga classes in the park make for a welcoming boutique experience." Full review

"It's a decent choice for business and the rooms were renovated in late 2010." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This small boutique hotel has a great reputation for hospitality."

Deluxe corner units on the top three floors are the ones to request.
Gayot "This renovated boutique hotel offers the perfect location for business travelers and vacationers alike."
BlackBook "Just around the corner from the Hawaii Convention Center, this off-beach property attracts a business crowd rather than a funseeking one."
