Contemporary beachfront resort opposite Kapiolani Park, formerly the Pacific Beach Hotel, renovated and reopened under the 'Alohilani name; exterior repair work on one tower was scheduled through March 2026.
'Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach stands at 2490 Kalakaua Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii, on the Diamond Head side of Waikiki, directly opposite Kapiolani Park. The beachfront resort was formerly the Pacific Beach Hotel and was renovated and reopened under its current name, giving the property a contemporary look rather than the older, dated feel of many Waikiki towers. Waikiki Beach is steps away, Kuhio Beach and the Waikiki Wall are roughly a ten-minute walk, and the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium and Diamond Head trailhead sit within a short drive or bus ride along Kalakaua Avenue. Public buses stop on Kalakaua Avenue, and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is about 9 miles away by taxi or rideshare.
Room categories include the Resort Room, the Ocean View Room and suites, with the higher categories offering views toward the Pacific and Diamond Head. Listed rates run from about US$350 to US$720 per night depending on season and view, which places the hotel in the luxury tier of the Waikiki market. Resort fees and parking charges are commonly added in Waikiki and are worth checking before booking.
Standout amenities listed for the property include direct beachfront access, a swimming pool, a fitness center and multiple on-site restaurants and bars. Dining options on site are aimed at both hotel guests and walk-in visitors, with casual daytime and more formal evening choices, and many additional restaurants are within walking distance along Kalakaua Avenue and Kuhio Avenue.
The resort suits couples and families who want a beachfront base at the quieter, parkside end of Waikiki rather than the busiest central blocks. Service is that of a full-service resort, with a front desk, bell service and tour assistance. Guests should note that exterior repair work on one tower was scheduled through March 2026, so the property recommends checking current construction status and room location when making a reservation, since scaffolding or noise can affect some views and upper-floor rooms.
