Forty stories above Waikiki, you can see the grand sweep of Oahu’s south shore from the ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Tower. Because of its on-beach location, this hotel is especially appealing to families with children. The pale blue and gold hues of the lobby are delicate and pretty, as is the golden chandelier. The ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Tower advertises itself as a luxury condominium hotel, so guest rooms are spacious with full kitchens and washers and dryers. Ask for a west-facing room if you want to watch the sunset from your lanai. The furniture is rattan and mahogany, a fitting contrast to the vanilla-hued walls and upholstery. After a morning at the beach, don’t miss the International Marketplace, a shopper’s paradise just two blocks away. When you come back, take a moment to relax beneath the hotel’s gorgeous flower-filled arbor.
