Resort Description
Deluxe landmark hotel evoking a stylish bygone era on legendary Waikiki Beach – Old World charm and modern comforts go hand-in-hand at the romantically elegant Pink Palace of the Pacific, popular with couples and families. The hotel, built along the beach where Queen Kaahumanu had her summer home, is on Travel + Leisure's 2007 "T+L 500."
Accommodations: Enter your air-conditioned room or suite to the aroma of fresh banana nut bread, believed to revive and restore you from the rigors of your journey. TIP: Request your room location accordingly -- accommodations in the 1920s stucco Historic Building call forth a romantic ambience, while the guest quarters in the newer Royal Tower offer the best beach views, especially from higher floors. Available amenities include a balcony with an ocean or garden view, cable TV, in-room movies, a refrigerator, an in-room safe, an alarm clock, an iron and an ironing board, slippers, a hairdryer, and housekeeping and turndown services.

Dining & Entertainment: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served at the fine Surf Room, set along the white-sand beach. The Friday night seafood buffet and Sunday brunch are particular favorites. The Royal Hawaiian Beach Club sets you up with snacks and beverages by the pool and on the beach. Savor a buffet feast under the stars accompanied by the songs and dances of the Royal Polynesian Extravaganza at the Royal Hawaiian Luau, Waikiki's only oceanfront luau. Enhance your evening with a stop at the Mai Tai Bar, where the mai tai tropical drink reputedly originated. Munch on hot and cold appetizers, and socialize with a backdrop of live music. For dining in the privacy of your guest quarters, call on room service any time. The Flavors of Island Music campaign keeps the diverse traditions of Hawaiian musical entertainment alive.
Recreation: Sit in a lounge chair under the shade of an umbrella on a beautiful stretch of world-famous Waikiki Beach. Surf's up in the summer months. Take a dip the pool, with a sectioned-off shallow end for kids. Go on a quest to have a personal encounter with a dolphin, and in the winter keep an eye out for passing whales. A sister hotel has a fitness center you can use to keep up your exercise routine, and your children have access to a nearby kids' club. Organic treatments to relax and heal are on the menu at the spa, with 8 outdoor cabanas.
