Looking to escape to Hawai'i for that perfect relaxing vacation?

You've found the ultimate haven! Your suite is breathtaking, but more about that later. First drop your luggage inside the door and turn around and stroll back out on to the "Sundeck-by-Day and Moondeck-by-Night" with Waikiki's best panoramic view. Take a look around—Diamond Head is so close it looks like you could reach over the railing and touch it! Historic Kapi'olani Park is right below with wonderful jogging paths, free public tennis courts, both a world-class small zoo and the fascinating Waikiki Aquarium and the Zoo Fence Artist's Mart each Sunday.

Take a deep breath. The air here is like nowhere else, scented with the fragrance of tropical flowers. Look to your right. A pristine beach awaits. You may see bodyboarders snagging waves or folks catching some rays on the sand. (Don't forget the sunblock!)

You have chosen the consummate place to be on O'ahu . . . on the Diamond Head edge of Waikiki. You can escape the hustle-and-bustle, or envelop yourself in it! We DO recommend that at some point you meander along the Waikiki Historic Trail which begins near the hotel.

Waikiki offers shopping, dining, entertainment, and people-watching opportunities you won't find elsewhere, but here, at the Waikiki Grand's Kapi'olani Hideaway, you have the option to do lots more and lots different.

Let's wander back in off the deck and take a closer look at your home for the next few days (or weeks? or months?) For starters you'll notice that every surface is cleaned and—where applicable—polished. The housekeeper is fastidious and dedicated, not something easy to find these days. Start opening drawers and cabinets, and you'll find EVERYTHING here as if you were home. This is, after all, your home in Waikiki, and every decision has been made to make it feel like that. There is fine tableware, drinking and wine glasses, plates, napkins, cooking utensils, a maple block of sharp knives, whatever you might need.

The details are what you had hoped for.

Now stand back and check out the bigger picture. Travertine tile floors for those wet, sandy feet! A full kitchen with granite countertops, gas range and icemaker-equipped SubZero refrigerator. Also a microwave and coffeemaker. After that long, cramped plane ride, there's a large comfortable couch you can sink into with a refreshing "Ahhhh!" Flip on the large screen plasma high-def TV. It's got cable, of course. And nearby is an easy-to-use Macintosh computer with RoadRunner high-speed internet access.

The unit sleeps two on a queen-sized Tempurpedic bed, and two more on the pull-out couch.

This ain't no cookie-cutter chain hotel room. Each item, from the Jacuzzi tub to the high-tech Toto toilet, to the pottery, paintings and pizza cutter has been personally selected to make your stay an enjoyable one. We're sure you'll love your stay!
