"Rooms are in two towers—some peer at the ocean over the Moana's low-rise historic wing. It's a two-minute stroll to the beach." Full review

Mid-Range
"It's nicely located -- in the heart of Waikiki -- but worn, noisy rooms, a limited staff, and poor maintenance drag this Sheraton below the standards of its competitors." Full review
Lonely Planet
"The wide, open lobby of the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is perhaps Waikiki's best spot for people-watching." Full review
Travel + Leisure

has all the advantages of a Sheraton without the
oceanfront prices."

"Located in central Waikiki opposite the Moana Surfrider, this is Sheraton's entry level hotel in Waikiki, a tried and true midrange "resort" for the masses." Full review

"Across the street from Waikiki Beach and next door to the International Marketplace, this hotel occupies the beachside estate of Hawaii's Princess Kaiulani."
