Zagat "Half a block from Waikiki Beach, this chic retreat sports serene decor created by San Francisco designer Jiun Ho."
Afar Magazine "With its shiny black surfaces and gray-on-gray color scheme, this sleek little hotel set back on a busy Waikiki corner would be at home in any major city." Full review
The Telegraph7.0
"With dark interiors, bubbling fountains and custom-made guestroom scents selected from the 'aroma bar' at check-in, brooding boutique Hotel Renew offers a peaceful respite from the sunny chaos of Waikiki’s beaches." Full review
