Concierge "The 72-room Hotel Renew, Waikiki's only "design hotel," is a favorite among fashion and film industry types from New York and California."
OysterUpper-middle-range
"A top pick for those who want more than a budget hotel but less than a mega resort, this affordable, 72-room boutique a block from the beach is high on style, but short on amenities." Full review
Lonely Planet "Just a half-block from the beach, this ecoconscious, gay-friendly boutique hotel satisfies sophisticated urbanites nursing romantic island dreams with stylish, design-savvy rooms."
Travel + Leisure "Steps from Waikiki Beach, this 72-room boutique hotel has an elegant Zen-like quality, thanks to acclaimed San Francisco–based furnishings designer Jiun Ho." Full review
DK Eyewitness "With only 72 guest rooms, Renew provides an intimate atmosphere in keeping with its spirit of wellness and tranquility."

Avoid lower floors, as noise from adjacent properties and from the street can be an issue.
Gayot "Talk about making a silk purse out of a sow's ear --- with new ownership, this property has gone from shabby and claustrophobic to hip, trendy and fashionable."
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
