Frommer's Review
This is one of Waikiki's biggest hotels, a $100-million project sporting two 40-story towers and covering nearly an entire city block, just across the street from the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach. Some may love the location, but others will find this behemoth too big and impersonal -- you can get lost just trying to find the registration desk. The huge second-floor lobby is decorated in koa and wraps around an atrium that rises 40 floors from the ground level. It's filled with the squawks of parrots, tumbling waterfalls, and traffic noise from busy Kalakaua Avenue.
The guest rooms are spacious and luxuriously furnished. The deluxe oceanview rooms overlooking Waikiki Beach are fabulous, but can be noisy (traffic on the avenue is constant). You can upgrade to the Regency Club floors, where the rooms are nicer; you'll also be entitled to an expedited check-in and the Regency Club, which has concierge service all day and serves complimentary continental breakfast and afternoon pupu (Hawaii-style appetizers).
The 10,000-square-foot, two-story luxury spa offers all the massage services, body treatments, and facials you can imagine.
Facilities: 4 restaurants (including Ciao Mein); elegant, poolside bar; outdoor pool with view of Waikiki; fitness room; spa; Jacuzzi; children's program (Fri-Sat year-round and daily in summer); concierge; activities desk; car-rental desk; business center; large shopping arcade; salon; room service; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers; same-day laundry service and dry cleaning; concierge-level rooms.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
