Hotel Renew

Frommer's Review

Once upon a time this now 70-room boutique hotel was one of the towers to the ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Hotel -- that was the before. The after is an oasis of tranquility, excellent taste, and high-tech electronic equipment in a sea of schlocky aging Waikiki hotels. After millions in renovations, the renewed hotel offers a quiet, relaxing vacation, just a block from the beach. Guests are seated at the front desks to check in, while their luggage is whisked to their rooms. The new rooms are designed with a clean, Zen-like decor, with black and white walls, discreet lighting, and the slight aroma of scented candles in the air -- all similar to the W, but for only a fraction of the price. But it's the electronics that won us over: DVD films that are projected onto a 6-by-4-foot screen (and can work with your computer), a 42-inch high-def flatscreen TV, complimentary high-speed Internet access, a host of 500-plus movies, even an I-pod docking station. A daily gourmet breakfast is included, along with free use of the fitness center and access to yoga classes; and when you depart, you'll receive a fresh flower lei to remember your sweet time here.
