Which room to book: Be sure you're in the historic wing, in a Beachview room.
Fodor's "There's nothing like the legendary Pink Palace of the Pacific, and an $85 million face-lift in 2009, the iconic hotel set on 14 acres of prime Waikiki Beach is a unique blend of luxury and tradition." Full review

"Of the three luxury hotels in Waikiki -- the Moana Surfrider and the Halekulani are the others -- the 528-room Royal Hawaiian provides the most stunning design." Full review
Lonely Planet "With its Moorish-style turrets and archways, the aristocratic, oh-so-pink Royal Hawaiian was Waikiki's first true luxury hotel."

For old-school ambience, ask for the historic building; for ocean views, the modern tower.
Travel + Leisure "Iconic, surfer-filled Waikiki—so famous that its image has even been printed on tens of thousands "aloha shirts"—is almost always full of tourists and happy beachgoers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The beloved “Pink Palace of the Pacific” has been a Waikīkī landmark since it opened in 1927. The stucco exterior, the interior decor, and even the towels are pink here."
Rough Guide "The 1920s “Pink Palace”, commanding the beach, is one of Waikiki’s best-loved landmarks. Its original building, looking out across terrace gardens to the sea, remains irresistible."
Star Service "Both new and returning guests will find this grande dame a formidable fashion-forward refuge with the kind of provenance that is nearly extinct in the world of hostelry. " Full review
Michelin Guide "Still chic as ever, the storied Pink Palace of the Pacific was a Hollywood playground when built in the Spanish-Moorish style in 1922."
Gayot "A storied hotel fondly known as 'The Pink Palace of the Pacific,' The Royal Hawaiian abounds with tales from decades of history as the lodging of choice."

Travel + Leisure "Just a block from the ocean, this all-suite hotel consists of two 21-story towers framing the Waikiki Beach Walk shopping mall, which houses 40 stores and six restaurants." Full review
Star Service "Located in the heart of the mixed-use Beach Walk development, this all-suite operation is one of the cornerstones of Beachwalk Street's 21st-century renaissance." Full review
Gayot "In a town where hotel rooms rule and larger accommodations usually mean two rooms adjoining or adjacent, it is great to know that Embassy Suites has moved into the Waikiki Beach Walk area."
BlackBook "What a great addition to suite starved Waikiki. The modern and bright one and two bedroom suites provide ample room for those with Hawaii family vacations in mind."
Lonely Planet "Near the beach, restaurants and nightlife...beige and brown suites big enough for families or groups. Each suite comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, sofa bed, one or two bedrooms and balcony." Full review
