All of these improvements have elevated the hotel rating.
Starting this month, guests can take advantage of the fully renovated tiki bar and restaurant, Big Kahuna Waikiki, offering Hawaiian-style pub food and tropical cocktails in a casual setting.
The hotel is located at 2280 Kuhio Avenue, just across the street from the new International Marketplace (opening August 25, 2016), two blocks to the world-famous Waikiki Beach and within walking distance to the area's best shops, restaurants and entertainment.
