A local favorite in the heart of Waikiki across from the beach

Comfort meets convenience at Pacific Beach Hotel, one of Waikiki's favorite, locally-owned hotels. Find yourself in the heart of the action on famed Kalakaua Avenue and across the street from the best swimming and sunning stretch of Waikiki Beach. More than 800 rooms offer island-style relaxation and remarkable ocean views. The Pacific Beach Hotel is one of only a few Waikiki hotels with a tennis court and the three-story, 280,000-gallon indoor aquarium is a trademark attraction.

Highlights
  • SNUBA dive with more than 70 sea creatures in the hotel's 280,000-gallon aquarium
  • Tennis courts with tennis pro on staff
  • newly renovated 24 -Hour Fitness location onsite

 

Location

The Pacific Beach Hotel sits across the street from Waikiki Beach's best stretch of sand and swimming and right on Waikiki's most happening shopping and dining strip. The Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium and 200-acre Kapiolani Park are about a 10- to 15-minute walk from the hotel.

Dining

Even locals line up at Oceanarium, the hotel's signature restaurant. Surrounding a 280,000-gallon saltwater aquarium, the restaurant attracts visitors as much for the views as the extravagant island-style brunch, dinner and weekend buffets.

Rooms

Choose a room in the 17-story Beach Tower or 38-story Oceanarium Tower. Each air-conditioned, island-themed room includes a private balcony, 37-inch HDTV, high-speed Internet access (fees apply), refrigerator, coffee maker, clock radio, hair dryer, voice message and data port telephone.

Perfect location and great hotel

I loved this hotel. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We had a view of the ocean and Diamond Head from our room, just beautiful.It's an older hotel but kept up very well. The free breakfast buffet was huge with lots of food choices,everything was very fresh.The dinner buffet is also very good. Use the concierge,they helped us everyday with the buses and shuttles and any questions we had. The snorkeling on Waikiki,right outside the hotel was great I was surprised at how many fish we saw. Try the Tiki Bar and restaurant just a couple blocks away,good food with a view of the ocean and music every night.

Great place to stay

We felt very welcome and the staff was extremely helpful, including extra beach towels, coffee, and they babysat our luggage while we toured the island after checkout. The room was quiet and the beds comfortable. The beach is across the street, with music and entertainment in the evenings. Perfect!

The shopping on the street in front of the hotel is fantastic, with all different types of stores and specialty shops. We discovered the city buses, and off we went on wonderful excursions. The buses are well-marked and the drivers helpful.

fantastic location and staff

From check in to check out, a fantastic experience. Walk to beach,shopping and dining all in a matter of minutes. Helpful staff made booking tours easy. Would definitely stay again. The only complaint we came up with, the beds and pillows are too hard.

Location is excellent – Waikiki

Location is excellent – Waikiki beach, Kalakaua Ave., shops, restaurants, San Souci State park, zoo, The Bus, etc... Large spacious comfortable rooms with small fridge, balcony, friendly /helpful staff, v. good concierge. Did not use pool / hot tub. Note: One tower is 39 +/- floors, the other ‘lower’ tower (17 floors) is closer to the beach and has more elevator capacity so no waits to get up and down. Be aware of the extra charges for local phone call, safety box in the room, Internet (not wireless) and parking. Also, early morning (6:30 – 7 am) noise from the service vehicles on Kealohilani Ave (hotel front entrance area) is quite noticeable – at least on the10th floor). Recommend this hotel despite these ‘drawbacks’. Stayed here 7 nights Q1 2011 (from Canada).

Ocean Front room is the way to

Ocean Front room is the way to go with this hotel. Great views of Waikiki beach. Breakfast wasn't really worth it as they seem to cater for the Japanese market as only what tasted like powerdered scrambled eggs were offered (no other egg types). Good hotel though. Although an older hotel the rooms are very clean and spacious. Would stay again but not with the breakfast package.

Good Hotel

I loved my stay at this hotel eventhough I wasn't sure at first because I didn't know it, but I was happy there, it has a perfect location in front of Waikiki Beach, comfortable room sizes, and they don't charge the resort fee like others, I would came back again for sure.
