Frommer's "The luxury hotel, made up of condominium units, has only one caveat: It's not on the beach." Full review
Concierge "The prime location, across the street from the beach and just off Waikiki's crowded main strip, adds to one's impression of being a wealthy local here, rather than a tourist."
Fodor's "One of the chicest hotels on the Waikiki scene, Trump has been drawing rave reviews since its opening in November 2009." Full review
Star Service "Adjacent to the blue-collar-friendly Embassy Suites Waikiki Beach Walk, and around the corner from the superior Halekulani, this overly glitzy operation from Donald Trump is an impressive..." Full review

Which room to book: Be sure you're in the historic wing, in a Beachview room.
Fodor's "There's nothing like the legendary Pink Palace of the Pacific, and an $85 million face-lift in 2009, the iconic hotel set on 14 acres of prime Waikiki Beach is a unique blend of luxury and tradition." Full review

"Of the three luxury hotels in Waikiki -- the Moana Surfrider and the Halekulani are the others -- the 528-room Royal Hawaiian provides the most stunning design." Full review
Lonely Planet "With its Moorish-style turrets and archways, the aristocratic, oh-so-pink Royal Hawaiian was Waikiki's first true luxury hotel."

For old-school ambience, ask for the historic building; for ocean views, the modern tower.
Travel + Leisure "Iconic, surfer-filled Waikiki—so famous that its image has even been printed on tens of thousands "aloha shirts"—is almost always full of tourists and happy beachgoers." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The beloved “Pink Palace of the Pacific” has been a Waikīkī landmark since it opened in 1927. The stucco exterior, the interior decor, and even the towels are pink here."
Rough Guide "The 1920s “Pink Palace”, commanding the beach, is one of Waikiki’s best-loved landmarks. Its original building, looking out across terrace gardens to the sea, remains irresistible."
Star Service "Both new and returning guests will find this grande dame a formidable fashion-forward refuge with the kind of provenance that is nearly extinct in the world of hostelry. " Full review
Michelin Guide "Still chic as ever, the storied Pink Palace of the Pacific was a Hollywood playground when built in the Spanish-Moorish style in 1922."
Gayot "A storied hotel fondly known as 'The Pink Palace of the Pacific,' The Royal Hawaiian abounds with tales from decades of history as the lodging of choice."
