This reasonably priced hotel houses four restaurants and a fitness center. You don’t even have to go outside to get to the huge Ala Moana Shopping Center.

On the windward shore of O’ahu, this European-style B&B is a short drive from O’ahu’s best beaches. The wonderful hosts have filled their home with antiques and art.

Comprised of three units with a shared bath in residential – and very upscale – Hawai’i Kai, this affordable B&B has panoramic ocean views. It’s a 15-minute drive from Waikīkī and even closer to neighborhood dining and shopping. Rates include continental breakfast.

A favorite of inter-island business travelers; most of the rooms here have kitchenettes. Complimentary continental breakfast is served each morning. And the location across from the Ala Wai Canal makes this convenient for a scenic early morning walk or jog.

This all-suite, luxury oceanfront property has only four suites per floor. Each one- or two-bedroom suite has a luxury kitchen, plus washer and dryer. Twice daily housekeeping is a nice touch.

Perfect for families, this high-rise condominium features one- and two-bedroom suites. It’s an easy walk to the beach and also to Honolulu Zoo. A playground and barbecue area are added attractions.

A smallish hotel offering studios and suites with standard, contemporary island decor; the upper floors of this high-rise have great views. There’s a swimming pool, sun deck, and whirlpool, and access to the nearby spa at the Hyatt Regency (see Hyatt Regency Waikīkī Resort & Spa). The beach is a short walk.

No frills here but many feel the serene oceanfront setting away from the crowds of Waikīkī makes up for the simplicity. At the base of Diamond Head, it’s just a short walk to the dining and shopping scenes of Kalākaua Avenue and across the street from Kapi’olani Park.

On the side of Kapi’olani Park farthest from Waikīkī, Joanne Trotter has been welcoming guests into her home for almost two decades. Her tasteful house with its big lanai and tropical gardens is filled with heirlooms and artwork. Breakfast included.

This small boutique hotel has a great reputation for hospitality. Its fitness and business centers are open round the clock, and Philippe Padovani’s bistro/ wine bar downstairs (see Padovani’s Restaurant) makes a stay all the more rewarding.
