Find out more about Honolulu

Ready to book your ticket to paradise? Say aloha to Honolulu, in Hawaii. Honolulu is a sun-drenched city where urban flair meets island culture. You can ride the waves in Waikiki or simply chill out with a Mai Tai under the gentle glow of tiki torches.

While the beaches alone are a reason to book your hotel in Honolulu, there’s so much more to this gorgeous area than a picture-perfect coastline. Explore the Pearl Harbor sites, or hike up Diamond Head for some of the most incredible views you’ll ever see.

Oh, and we haven’t even mentioned the food yet. Choose from awesome food trucks serving up mouthwatering seafood, cute cafes dishing up cultural delicacies, and, if you’re feeling fancy, high-end restaurants where freshly caught ahi is the star of the show.

Where to stay in Honolulu

There’s Honolulu accommodation in every part of this stunning city, so no matter which hotel in Honolulu you choose to stay in, you’re sure to have a fantastic trip.

Waikiki is a great choice for first-timers. It has buzzing beaches, modern hotels and walkable streets brimming with tempting shops, restaurants and bars. Or why not stay in Downtown Honolulu to get your fill of history, heritage sites like Iolani Palace, and trendy bars and restaurants?

For hotels in Honolulu with a more laid-back vibe, stay in Diamond Head. It’s a lovely upscale area with a quieter atmosphere, local cafes and easy access to the best hiking trails. Kaimuki is a charming neighbourhood packed with hole-in-the-wall dining spots, quirky boutiques and a relaxed vibe. Or for the perfect beach trip, stay in Kahala - it’s a tad more luxurious with pristine beaches and super swanky resorts.
