Condo-hotel tower overlooking Ala Wai Yacht Harbor, recognizable from the opening credits of the original Hawaii Five-O; suites have kitchens.
Ilikai Hotel & Luxury Suites stands at 1777 Ala Moana Boulevard in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii, on the western edge of Waikiki overlooking the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. The condo-hotel tower is recognizable from the opening credits of the original Hawaii Five-O television series, which gave the building lasting local fame. The property sits beside Hilton Hawaiian Village and a short walk from Fort DeRussy Beach Park and Ala Moana Beach Park, and Waikiki Beach Walk and Kalakaua Avenue are a 10 to 15 minute walk east. The Ala Moana Center, one of the largest open-air shopping centers in the United States, is a short bus ride or drive to the west, and the airport is roughly 20 to 30 minutes away by car. Accommodations are mostly suites, many with kitchens or kitchenettes and private lanais with views of the harbor, ocean or city. Because units are individually owned condominiums, decor and condition vary from suite to suite, and visitors should check recent reviews and the specific unit type before booking. The suite format works well for families and longer stays where cooking saves money. Amenities typically include a pool deck, fitness area and on-site dining, and nearby restaurants along Ala Moana Boulevard and in the neighboring Hilton Hawaiian Village add options. The service character is straightforward and practical, with a front desk handling check-in and activities rather than a full concierge resort setup. Rates run about $200-$420 per night, and resort fees and paid parking commonly apply. The location suits visitors who want to be near the harbor, the Ala Moana corridor and the western Waikiki beaches rather than the busiest central strip. Visitors should confirm current amenities and fees directly with the hotel. The marina setting means sunset walks along the harbor and the nearby Hilton lagoon are easy options, and Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head and Hanauma Bay are all reachable by tour, bus or rental car from the Ala Moana Boulevard address.
