Waikiki Grand Hotel

Waikiki


Small, gay-friendly condo 10-story hotel best known as the home of Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand. The rooms are compact, some with kitchenettes. Each vacation-rental condo is individually owned, so the 180 rooms can vary greatly in quality and decor – view online photos with some skepticism. Ask about weekly and low-season discounts. There is limited parking available onsite.
