Queen Kapiolani Hotel    Brought to you by Panda Travel ®.

As its name implies, the Queen Kapiolani Hotel recalls the glory days of the Hawaiian monarchy. Named after the Consort of the last king of Hawaii, David Kalakaua, Queen Kapiolani was a beloved figure in Hawaiian history. In the lobby of the hotel note the museum-quality paintings of both the King and Queen along with her beautiful niece, Princess Kaiulani. The staff is gracious and helpful and the rooms nicely decorated with lovely views of the park, Diamond Head and the ocean.

Overlooking the 108-acre Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head Crater, the hotel is situated just one block from Waikiki Beach, one of the world's most famous stretch of sand. It is across the street from the Honolulu Zoo, well worth a stroll through and a short walk to the Waikiki Aquarium which features opened up an absolutely fascinating exhibit of jelly fish.

The location of the hotel is ideal for exploring the Park and the quieter end of Waikiki Beach. If you prefer fresh water over salt, there is always the hotel's swimming pool and sun deck located on a high floor offering magnificent views of the surrounding area.
