The Modern Honolulu luxury hotel offers 353 stylish guestrooms, highlighting the glittering city skyline, moored yachts in the harbor, and spectacular ocean views. Many feature a private terrace where you can enjoy breakfast in your plush robe or play with an iPad borrowed from the hotel. If you would rather dine out, the Waikiki resort features exquisite culinary pursuits, including the celebrated Morimoto Waikiki. After dining, take a dip in the Sunrise Pool while indulging in a signature cocktail or bask under towering palms at the Sunset Pool. Round out the day with a pampering treatment at the hotel's revitalizing spa.
The 24 hour business center and proximity to the Hawaii Convention Center also make The Modern an ideal choice for business travelers.

Away from Waikiki
Hotel was nice but if you book a road-side room in the front of the hotel you will not sleep. Seems to be a very popular club in the hotel that empties onto the street at 4:00am...NEVER heard such screaming, yelling, things thrown, etc. The hotel said they get a lot of complaints and they moved us higher but it was still unbearable. If you can't get poolside you will have a problem...especially on the weekend.

Great Hotel
My experience was pretty awesome at the Modern Honolulu. It's location is nice because it is on the outskirts of Waikiki, in which you don't deal with all of the obnoxious people and noise and can walk to the main strip in about 10 minutes. The rooms are spacious and the bed was very comfortable. Valet parking was $28/day which was a little more than some of the other hotels we were considering, but wasn't that big of a deal. The pool area was nice, only downside was an ok outdoor bar area. The drinks and appetizers were expensive and not that large in size. There is a happy hour from 4-7, which helped. I would say that the best part is Morimoto being located in the building. We ordered some sushi and cocktails and it was AMAZING.

Business getaway
Hotel was very nice. I had work daily on the north shore and The Modern Honolulu was an easy in and out each day. Close enough to all the action of shopping and the beach but just on the edge so I was not bottled up with the traffic down near the other hotels. Relaxing by the outstanding pool was a plus. Great pool, great service.

Terrific value for any traveler(s)
Location is ideally suited to the knowledgable traveler that needs no gps assistance. If quirky one-way streets drive you to easily be confused, take a taxi to this excellent version of a "modern" concept. The ambience is pointedly European in nature, albeit with an adaptive flair that embraces the local culture while presenting a subdued, yet professional characteristic. The kitchen's room service menu offers a delightful fruitbowl ($26.95)that presents a mini-smorgasbord of fruit varieties, including local and exotic, -sparingly, one-two of each. Lots of grapes & pineapple! . The rooms with proximity to the elevators may need an additional sound barrier for some light sleepers, but #820 was worth every penny! I actually booked through Orbitz and am totally satified. Thank you, for a delightful hotel experience. Do make sure that the desk is fully aware that you have not checked out yet while you are at the pool at 11:30 am (BTW, it's a VERY nice pool & bar).......

pretense without quality
Under its previous name, The Edition, we stayed in this horrible hotel. Don't bring kids, because they aren't welcome here. Don't plan on sleeping because the windows are paper thin and it is extremely noisy all through the night. Don't plan on being treated like a valued customer, because you aren't (eg. the lounge beds are reserved $$$). Don't plan on enjoying a functional hotel room because the designer sacrificed function over "wow" everytime (eg. wooden blinds between bathroom and hotel room, meaning no privacy whatsoever, wooden floor to celing window blinds blocking your non-view). I would not return here if it was free!
