The story so far

The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort owned by Kyo-ya Hotels & Resorts, stands on Waikiki Beach as the first luxury property built in Waikiki, a 17-story tower with 528 hotel keys at 2259 Kalakaua Avenue that opened in 2026.

Designed by Warren and Wetmore, its 528 rooms span the six-story original Historic Wing with 349 rooms and suites and the 17-story, ocean-facing Mailani Tower with 179. A centennial renovation fully redoes the Mailani Tower rooms, remakes the Historic Wing room by room and introduces an Art Deco-inspired lobby, alongside updates to the Monarch Ballroom and Azure restaurant.
