"This bland, 578-room high-rise 10 to 15 minutes from the main Waikiki action -- and, alas, its beach -- features strong service and two good restaurants." Full review
"Every room at this marinafront hotel overlooks the picturesque Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. There are two award-winning restaurants: Prince Court offers Hawai’i cuisine, Hakone traditional Japanese."
"This hotel remains one of the top business addresses here, a plush Japanese workhorse that provides fine accommodations and service but only middling facilities." Full review
"Located on the very western edge of Waikiki and set back from the beach, this twin tower hotel was completely renovated in 2011."

"Surrounded by panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the hotel offers contemporary accommodations, poolside cabanas, exclusive Club Lounge, and access to the Hawaii Prince Golf Club"
