Premier Event Destination in the Heart of Waikiki

ʻAlohilani Resort Waikiki Beach is a cosmopolitan sanctuary where modern luxury meets the spirit of Hawai‘i. Located on the iconic Kalākaua Avenue, overlooking the world-renowned Waikiki Beach and framed by the majestic Diamond Head, the resort offers a refined escape that blends contemporary design with deep cultural roots.

From the moment guests arrive, they are immersed in a setting that honors Hawai‘i’s rich heritage. The resort’s name—ʻAlohilani, meaning “heavenly brightness”—was gifted by Queen Liliʻuokalani, and its interiors reflect the island’s natural beauty through native woods, volcanic stone, and curated artwork by local Hawaiian artists. This thoughtful design creates a sense of place that is both inspiring and deeply authentic.

Additional venues like the Bluefin, Stingray, and Yellowtail Rooms offer adaptable layouts for breakout sessions, executive meetings, or private dinners.

Each space is equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual technology, high-speed internet, and customizable configurations to suit your event’s unique needs. The resort’s expert planning team ensures every detail reflects the warmth and hospitality of Hawai‘i.
