"Sleek and modern, this 1,700-room hotel towers over the prime location on the beach at Waikīkī – most of the rooms have spectacular ocean views."

"This hotel may be ranked No. 2 in size behind the Hilton Hawaiian Village, but it is a bustling beehive of activity in an excellent location, and individuals and groups both big and small do well here."
