The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach Hotel

We stayed in a two bedroom suite facing the ocean and woke up to rainbows every morning! The hotel itself is in the best location in Waikiki and we appreciated proximity to all the luxury shops, restaurants and beaches. The D tower is close to a little market downstairs which was really helpful and Dean & Deluca provided some great caffeine fix. We also enjoyed the pool -- my 3 yr old niece made some very special memories learning to swim there. The property is sparkling clean, tastefully decorated and very secure with tons of helpful staff at the valet desk which was great for shopping/parking. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need, and while we ate out for the most part, it was really great to cook sometimes and do the laundry as we stayed over a week. The suite was very comfortable for our family of 4 adults and 1 kid, and the quality of service was exceptional throughout our stay. From the cleaning staff to bell men to front desk, every single hotel staff we encountered remained courteous, quick and kind. In particular the concierge team, Jordan and Aiko, went above and beyond their ways to make our stay so special for my sister's wedding and I am so grateful for all their help before, during and after our stay. My mom loved the view and ambience of La Vie restaurant for breakfasts and we enjoyed Friday fireworks twice during our stay, once from the Italian restaurant on site and also from our suite. It is as good as it gets in Waikiki when you have such a luxurious, calm and peaceful home base, especially for a family visit. I also stayed at Kahala resorts before my family arrived and still think that the Ritz was the best choice for the family to spend time together. As someone who spends more time at 5 star hotels than my own home, the quality of the staff and service really stood out for me for this property and I look forward to going back❤️🌈

We celebrated our 40th anniversary and hotel is kind enough to send a bottle of champagne as celebration gift

The property is not on the beach (thank heavens) but on the edge of the hot area of Waikiki - you can easily walk to any restaurant in Waikiki, walk to the beach (ten minutes). Our room was fabulous - large, beautiful view from the balcony, terrific pool open 24/7 and jacuzzi. Valet parking is $55 a day, but the valets are super helpful and kind - and give you lots of tips of where to go. As do the concierges - Lorna, Jordan and Luis in particular. Yes, it’s a Ritz-Carlton, but for us it was a home away from home. Super warm service, and a very high standard of facilities. We cannot wait to return.

The property and suites were well-appointed, well-maintained, and in a prime location with many shops and restaurants.,

The ocean view from our unit was magnificent
