The hype
Guests universally praise the massive rooms and staff kindness, but many note the furniture and pool deck feel dated and ready for the 2025 refresh.
Trump International Hotel Waikiki
$350-550/ gece
Şu durumda rezervasyon yapın You want a quiet, residential-style luxury condo with a kitchen, away from the chaotic beachfront crowds but still a 5-minute walk to the sand.
İnsanlar Neden Seviyorlar
- Massive bathrooms with deep soaking tubs and Toto toilets
- Kitchenettes or full kitchens in every room (perfect for families)
- Service that feels personal and un-rushed compared to the mega-resorts
Hızlı Özet: It's a re-flagged luxury condo tower that feels more like a wealthy friend's apartment than a tropical resort—impeccable but lacking a 'vibe'.
@nandafms tarafından değerlendirildi: I stayed in this suite and felt like absolute royalty. The floor-to-ceiling windows gave me the best view of the Encore I've ever seen. Plus, that bubble bath overlooking the city was the ultimate main character moment. Highly recommend for a quiet luxury escape.

Reality check
The 'Partial Ocean View' is often just a view of the hotel next door with a sliver of blue, and the pool is surprisingly small for a luxury tower.
- You travel with kids and need a kitchen/laundry
- You hate waiting in line for elevators at 4,000-room resorts
- You prioritize a massive, spa-like bathroom over a swim-up bar
Temizlik & Bakım
9.3
- Housekeeping: Impeccable. Twice-daily service is standard, and they are known for organizing your toiletries on a cloth.
- Bathroom hygiene: Spotless. The marble is well-maintained, though some grout lines show the building's age (15 years).
- Maintenance: Generally excellent, though some furniture shows scuffs. The upcoming 2025 renovation is needed to refresh soft goods.
- Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and plentiful. No complaints of thin or worn towels.
- Odors & scents: Neutral and fresh. No 'masked' smells, just clean air.

- Valet parking is mandatory and expensive (~$55/night); there is no self-park.
- Beach bags with towels, fruit, and water are provided free at the valet desk before you walk to the beach.
Ne paketleyeceksiniz

- Reef-safe sunscreen – Hawaii law requires it
- Earplugs – just in case you get a lower floor near the street
Oda Cinisi
En iyi seçimler

- 08 line rooms (e.g., 2308) – often have excellent 'partial' views that include Diamond Head
Kaçınılması gereken odalar
- City View rooms on low floors (can feel dark and face a concrete alley)
- Rooms near the elevators (soundproofing is good, but not perfect)

“I am requesting a high-floor room (20th floor or above) facing Fort DeRussy Park to minimize street noise. If available, a unit with a view of the Friday fireworks would be appreciated.”
SSS & Gizli İpuçları
Rezervasyon yapmadan önce bilmeniz gereken her şey.
Is it directly on the beach?
No. It is set back about one block. You walk 5 minutes across a park/sidewalk to get to the water.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the infinity pool is heated, but it is small and can get crowded with kids.
Does it have a resort fee?
Yes, approximately $47/night, which covers Wi-Fi, beach towels, and some cultural classes.
Are the rooms renovated?
Not yet. The major renovation begins June 2025. Current rooms are well-maintained but have the original 2009 decor.
Is there a shuttle to the airport?
No free shuttle. A taxi or Uber will cost $35-50. The hotel can arrange a private luxury transfer for significantly more.
Can I use Hilton Honors points?
Yes, it is now part of Hilton LXR. Standard room rewards are often 95k-100k+ points per night.
İçeri Sakıları
- ✨
The 'hidden' hot tub in the center of the pool deck is often overlooked by guests dazzled by the infinity edge.
- ✨
Book a table at Wai'olu Ocean Cuisine for Friday at 7:30 PM to watch the Hilton fireworks without the crowds.
- ✨
There is a public beach access path right next to the Trump tower that is a shortcut to the water—ask the valet.
Gitmeden önce bilmeniz gereken 5 şey
💡The lobby is on the 6th floor, not the ground floor—it's an 'upside down' hotel.
💡The showers in many rooms have no door, just a glass partition, which can make for a drafty experience.
💡You can order a private chef to come cook a meal in your suite's kitchen (for a steep price).
💡It has no 'grounds' or gardens to stroll; the footprint is just the tower itself.
💡The 'den' in the suites often has a pull-out sofa that is surprisingly comfortable, effectively acting as a second bedroom.
