Grand Naniloa Resort

Hilo's ritziest hotel is the 380-room Grand Naniloa, a DoubleTree by Hilton property renovated in 2018. All rooms look neat and modern and include mini fridge and microwave. But the oceanfront rooms with lanai add a memorable "wow" factor. Bonus points for a spiffy hotel restaurant, lively lobby bar and well-stocked store for snacks, gifts and gear.
