Steps from Waikiki Beach, the Red Ginger

Location is everything!

The Red Ginger is a compact studio apartment with its own private balcony providing a city view of Waikiki. With historic Waikiki Beach is just outside the hotel lobby, the Red Ginger makes a perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel, just one floor above the studio, provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Red Ginger.

Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Red Ginger Suite has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

The Red Ginger is located at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

The location is perfect. Only steps from beach/Waikiki strip. Next to zoo so great green space on one side. Rooftop patio has great view of Diamond Head and green space and good view of beach. Communication with host was very efficient and helpful—lots of useful local information provided. The unit is in an older hotel so the room is small and a bit dated—not at all glamorous. But the location and communication with host and price can’t be beat.

Wonderful location! Minutes away from anything we needed. The place was clean, the bed was very comfortable (one of the things I look for!), the towels were fluffy, and the unit was supplied with everything we needed. There were even chocolates! The only unfortunate thing was that there was remodeling going on in the unit upstairs, so jackhammering each day was annoying. But we were out most of the day doing stuff, so not a huge problem. The folks we interacted with on the front desk were very accomodating and the property manager was prompt in responding and VERY considerate.
