When it comes to lifestyle hotels on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu, one of the standouts is the ‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach, which features an infinity pool, cabanas, top restaurants and bars and stylish rooms and suites.
The ‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach is located across from the golden sands of Hawaii’s most popular seaside attraction and it’s also home to some of the best hospitality in the United States.
The resort, which is named in honour of Queen Lili’uokalani, the last reigning monarch of the Hawaiian Kingdom, also features one of the best executive lounges in all of Hawaii, the Longboard Club, which includes breakfast and evening culinary delights daily alongside local craft beers and a wine cruvinet with 16 varietals.
To find out what makes the property so unique, Wayfarer Host and Editor-In-Chief, James Wilkinson, spoke exclusively on camera to ‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach General Manager, Matthew Grauso (to view the video, click on the YouTube image above).
Getting to Honolulu
Hawaiian Airlines flies to Honolulu from Sydney, Auckland and across the mainland United States. Hawaiian’s brilliant onboard experience includes a stylish Business Class cabin and more Extra Comfort seats on the widebody Airbus A330 aircraft.
In Business Class, you’ find flatbed seats, in a 2-2-2 configuration, that fold down into 180-degree beds that are 20.5 inches wide by 76 inches long.
Also expect a Mai Tai on arrival (and during the flight), a Hawaiian-styled meal service and after dinner, a sleeper service on the overnight flight to Honolulu that features pink duvets and pillows, and new amenity kits. Entertainment comes in the form of large-format iPad tablets that sit on a telescoping arm – something also ideal if you want to watch content on your own device.
It’s also an exciting time for Hawaiian Airlines as the United States carrier re-boots its global network, prepares for the delivery of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner and focuses its efforts on being more sustainable than ever before.
