Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu

Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu is a design-led hotel and vacation club tower at 1775 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, beside the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor on the western edge of Waikiki. The property was formerly known simply as The Modern Honolulu and now operates under Hilton's vacation club brand, so older reviews may use the previous name. It sits next to the Ilikai and a short walk from Hilton Hawaiian Village, Fort DeRussy Beach Park and Ala Moana Beach Park, while Waikiki Beach Walk and Kalakaua Avenue are roughly a 10 to 15 minute walk east. The Ala Moana Center is a short bus ride or drive west, and the airport is about 20 to 30 minutes away by car depending on traffic. Accommodations are modern studios and suites, many with kitchens or kitchenettes and private lanais overlooking the harbor, the ocean or the city. The contemporary styling contrasts with older Waikiki resorts. Amenities include a sundeck, spa and a restaurant on the property, plus a pool and fitness facilities, and visitors should confirm current outlets and hours since restaurants and bars change over time. The service character combines hotel and vacation-club operations, so the property serves both owners and nightly guests, and it appeals to couples and families who want more space than a standard room. Rates range from about $250 to $520 per night, and a resort fee and paid parking commonly apply. The location suits visitors who prefer the harbor side of Waikiki, with easy access to Ala Moana Boulevard dining and the western beaches. Visitors should check the Hilton website for current availability, fees and amenities before arrival. Guests can combine harbor-side walks with trips to Ala Moana Center, Kakaako dining and murals, and the Honolulu waterfront, while Pearl Harbor and Hanauma Bay are standard half-day excursions from this part of Honolulu.
