Queen Kapiolani Hotel Review and Highlights

The Queen Kapiolani Hotel has an awesome spot on the East side of Waikiki, right near the fun Honolulu Zoo. It’s like a short 30-minute ride from the Honolulu Airport if there’s no traffic jam.

One of the highlights for me was the pool, found on the 3rd floor, giving off that rooftop vibe. It had this fun, retro atmosphere with its astroturf surroundings.

When looking at the cost, studio rooms usually fall in the $200-$300 range per night. For those who are a part of the military, have AAA, or are local (kamaaina), there are special rates available, which can make the stay more affordable. Given the amenities, views, and location, the pricing feels fair, ensuring visitors get good value for their money.
