A splendid stay in the heart of Waikiki.

PROs:
*Great location, 5 minutes walk to the beach and plenty shopping and food options nearby.
*Room service was exceptional and extremely quick to respond. A special mention to Rona, who did a wonderful job servicing our room with the necessary things we required and always with a smile.
*Majority of the staff was friendly and helpful.
*Quick check-in and check-out.
*Room was spacious, clean and a great view of the ocean and the Friday fireworks.
*Staff was very prompt and efficient.
*Unlike other hotels around the area, this property did not look old and dated.
*Decent breakfast options.
*Good size heated pool and spa.
CONs:
*Absence of showers and change rooms in the pool area, which meant we had to go to our room after each pool session.
*The hallway temperature on our floor (and I'm assuming other floors too) was really cold and often we would be shivering heading to our room.
Overall, Ka La'i was an amazing experience and we would definitely stay here again.

New & Improved!!! ✨

Ka L’ai Waikiki Beach, a part of Hilton’s premium LXR collection, is an exceptional place to stay in Honolulu, conveniently located within walking distance of the beach, luxury shopping, and a variety of dining options. Ka L’ai rises above the melée of the city both, literally, as one of the tallest buildings in Waikiki next to the relatively placid Fort Derussey Beach Park, but also, by providing, an elevated luxury experience that stands out above other options in Waikiki.
We were impressed by the spacious suite at Ka L’ai with its full kitchen and sizable living room area. Of course, we also appreciated the large bathroom tub, perfect for soaking. Our balcony and windows provided beautiful views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Bay. We felt like we were on top of the world with glorious views of the skyline, the feeling of being above the bustling city below, and wonderful views of the sunrise over the ocean.
At In-Yo Café, we started our day right with a gourmet breakfast featuring traditional breakfast fare alongside Hawaiian favorites like spam and tropical fruit. We also enjoyed a fantastic dinner at Wai‘olu Ocean Cuisine, certainly one of the premier dining spots in Honolulu. Our appentizers included a wonderfully innovative crab crepe in curry sauce and a flavorful pear brie and macadamia nut flatbread. Our main courses included the miso roasted black cod and the daily special—a roasted duck with couscous and a citrus salad. We recommend dining on Fridays to view both the sunset and the weekly fireworks show at the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village resort.
A true Hawaii experience must include some time in the iconic Waikiki neighborhood. We enjoyed shopping, strolling the beachwalk, lounging on the sand, and dipping our toes in the water. We also hiked Diamond Head for wonderful views of the city and the entire east side of O’ahu (reservations required). Ka L’ai is also a great base for excursions to other parts of O’ahu whether exploring KoKohead and the gorgeous Wamanalo Beach or adventuring to the North Shore.
Of course, we were sure to sample the Waikiki nightlife, dancing well into the early morning before retiring to the quite and plush comforts of our Ka L’ai suite. Ka L’ai is the perfect place to allow you to both enjoy and retreat from the bustle of Waikiki.

Best Luxury Hotel in Waikiki

Overall 5 stars: Hands down the best luxury pet friendly hotel in Waikiki! From the exceptional service to the personalized details that made my stay an unforgettable one.
Service 5 stars: Upon arriving to the valet, we were met with warm greetings and had our bags unloaded by the guest service team. We were then escorted to the elevators that took us to the front desk. We were greeted with refreshing cucumber mint water and pineapple and star fruit jelly candy. Once we were checked in, our bags were on the same elevator going to our room. No waiting around for our luggage. Upon entering our room we discovered a special and personalized experience. There was a "Happy Birthday" Brownie in the refrigerator and plushy stingray for the little ones. There was also a dog bed and dog bowls already in the room for our dog. There was also a box of Beach Brittle and souvenir Ka La'i water bottles.
Amenities 5 stars: Our room had spectacular floor to ceiling window views of the ocean and the Waikiki coastline. The balcony had glass railings that made it safe for our little dog to go out on. Full kitchen with Wolf appliances and an enormous refrigerator. There was also a Nespresso machine that my wife used daily. The luxurious amenities also included a deep soaking tub with a window that could be opened toward the master bedroom. There was a separate shower that had the best water pressure. All in an Italian marble bathroom. The toilet seats were heated and had a bidet. There was also a washer and dryer in the room which made it convenient. There are many more that there is not enough room to list them all.
Location 5 stars: The Ka La'i is right across the street from the beach and the walk is a beautiful and short one passing the US Army Museum. There are many great places to eat and shop within walking distance of the hotel. I would say all within a 5 to 10 minute walk of the hotel. If you are staying with your pet, there are grassy areas all around the hotel and a nice park to take a walk in across the street.
Cleanliness 5 stars: This is a big one for me. From the Grand Entrance to our guest room, everything was spotless. I can't stand rooms that were not cleaned properly. The cleaning staff were very pleasant and helpful, asking if we needed anything, anytime we passed by them. And they all did so with a smile.
This is our favorite hotel to stay at in Waikiki and we will definitely be back there soon. If you want an unforgettable experience in Waikiki you have to stay at the Ka La'i.

Exceptional Experience!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Ka La’i Waikiki and I cannot express enough how fantastic our experience was, mainly because of their outstanding staff and impeccable service plus the hotel is centrally located and just a 2-minute walk from the beach.
From the moment we walked through the doors, we were greeted with warm smiles and a genuine sense of hospitality by Aaron at valet and team. The front desk staff were extremely welcoming and ensured our check-in process was smooth and stress-free.
There was a bit of a hiccup with our first room and the manager Ling Ling went above and beyond to take care of the issue and even walk through and thoroughly inspected the next room for us. The housekeeping staff, checked in on us all the time to make sure we have everything we need for a comfortable stay and we always came back to an immaculately cleaned room, which was very important to me as I have horrible allergies.
The service throughout the hotel was exemplary. It’s evident that the staff is well-trained and committed to providing guests with an exceptional experience. This hotel’s management deserves special mention for their attentiveness to the needs of guests.
I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a stress free and memorable stay!

Impressive Hotel & Personalized 5-Star Service

Last week was our first time staying at an LXR Hotel. Year after year, for many years, we have stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and enjoyed our experiences there. Still, we decided to try something new with this new Hilton location in Waikiki, and they impressed us so much! We'll be back.
When we arrived at the hotel, we realized the only parking option was valet, and by the end of our stay, we were so thankful for this option. Through the chat feature of the Honors app, I would ask for our car to be ready at a particular time each morning, and each morning, the car was there, prepared for our use. Even on one morning, I asked to have four beach towels, four beach chairs, and a pair of beach umbrellas loaded into the car so we could be ready for our day at Hanauma Bay, and the team pulled it off with a warm Aloha greeting and smiles on their faces.
I'm a Lifetime Diamond member, and I was thanked for my status upon arrival, at check-in, and during my interaction with their team. This acknowledgment was so impressive because we had just been at another luxury Hilton property in Maui, where there was never any appreciation for our loyalty or thankfulness for choosing their property. Our feeling at the Ka La'i is that their team members appreciated our business and enjoyed their time working at their hotel.
Our room (1515) with a view of Waikiki Beach was amazing. The bed was comfortable, and the team members who cleaned and maintained the room were top-notch. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. Forgetting that I had made a note on my reservation asking for a couple of cans of Diet Coke to be placed in the room, my wife and I were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. The Diet Coke was there with a brief note welcoming us to the hotel. Every member of their team was friendly and greeted us with Aloha each time we interacted with them.
We enjoyed the hot tub and pool one evening and, yet again, were amazed at the team's professionalism in ensuring we had towels and enjoyed our experience.
Although we didn't meet the hotel leadership face-to-face, Scott Dirks, their General Manager, and Scott Ingwers, their Managing Director, should be proud of and celebrate their success because it's clear their hotel is well-run and well-maintained. Most importantly, their team members enjoy providing 5-star service to their guests. Thank you ~ we noticed your commitment to excellence!
