368-room hotel that joined Hilton's Tapestry Collection in 2025 after a renovation, with a pool deck, suites and bunk-bed family rooms.
Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, is at 2040 Kuhio Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii, at the Ewa (western) end of central Waikiki. The location is a few blocks from Waikiki Beach and the Ala Wai Canal side of the district, with the Hawaii Convention Center and Ala Moana Center reachable by bus or rideshare. Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is roughly 9 miles away.
The 368-room hotel joined Hilton's Tapestry Collection in 2025 after a renovation, a refresh that updated rooms and public spaces. Room types include Studios, Two-Bedroom Suites and Lofted Bunk Rooms, the last of which are designed for families with children. Select rooms include kitchenettes, which helps travellers save on meals. Listed rates run from about US$220 to US$420 per night in the mid-range tier, and resort fees and parking are commonly added, so totals should be confirmed.
The amenities listed include a pool and cabana deck and the Favorite Son restaurant on site. The pool deck is the main outdoor social space and suits families who want a break from the beach. Beyond the hotel, Kuhio Avenue holds many restaurants, convenience stores and casual eateries within a few minutes' walk, and Kalakaua Avenue's shopping is a short stroll away.
Service is family-oriented and practical, with a front desk, bell service and tour assistance typical of a Hilton-affiliated property. The Tapestry Collection brand positions the hotel as a locally flavoured alternative to standard chain towers. It suits larger groups and families who want suite or bunk layouts at mid-range pricing, rather than guests who prioritise a beachfront address. Visitors who want a quiet room should ask about floor and orientation, since Kuhio Avenue can be busy at night.
