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
