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."
