Luana Waikiki Hotel is located in Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, on the major street, Kalakaua Avenue. The hotel is located in an area right before it gets really busy, so it provides still a quiet environment for staying in Waikiki, but is convenient for being able to shop, dine, and hit the beach.
Welcome to Luana Waikiki!
Luana Waikiki is a boutique hotel located on Kalakaua Avenue, and it is a little ways from central Waikiki. It is a smaller scale hotel, but offers everything to a traveler who is there to enjoy their time in Hawaii. The hotel has a unique antique feeling, which is decorated with wooden carvings of pineapples, hula dancers, surfers, and anything that symbolizes Hawaii. Overall, the hotel has a charming and welcoming atmosphere, rather than being flashy.
The Luana Waikiki Hotel’s tropically styled room
Something so unique about the Luana Waikiki Hotel is the style of the rooms. As soon as you step into the hotel, you will notice how the furniture and décor has been tropically put together. I mean, it is in Hawaii, so that is not a surprise, but while some hotels prefer to be simple and modern, the Luana Waikiki has a certain charm about itself with the antique styling, which adds more personality to the hotel.
Right by the bed in a guest room, you see two antique styled lamps with a hula dancer and a surfer. Modern styles are nice, but this feeling of antiquity definitely adds a special characteristic to the Luana Waikiki. You will also see pineapple décor all around your room. Let’s see how many pineapples you can spot in a room!
Make your style comfortable in condominium style
If you are staying in a room that is not facing Kalakaua Street, you can view the ocean from your balcony. From the 9th floor room I have visited, in the not so far distance, I could see the ocean. Of course, if you decide to just go to the hotel pool, you’re able to lay there to relax or jump in and swim a little. You have options to do whatever is comfortable for you.
The comfort of your stay at the Luana Waikiki Hotel is made possible also by the guests being able to choose rooms with condominium styles. Some of the rooms are equipped with a small kitchen area, so for those staying for a longer period of time can benefit from cooking and dining in the room as well as still being able to enjoy eating out in Waikiki.
Stay fit and active at your stay
As well as a swimming pool, the Luana Waikiki has a gym where you can work out and there are also complimentary yoga classes on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday at 8:00am. It is so easy to enjoy a little too much of the food while you stay in Hawaii, so why not get active in between your free time? Of course, you can certainly go for a jog around the hotel and go surfing in the ocean, but if you want to get a quick exercise at the hotel, these complementary services, and classes, will come handy. Because of the 15 USD per room charged as a hospitality fee at the Luana Waikiki daily, you get to enjoy all of these services, so why not take advantage of that?
Mingle with other guests!
As well as the complementary yoga classes, pool, and the gym facility, something unique to the Luana Waikiki is the manager’s reception, which is held three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday in the lounge. This is where all the guests can come together and mingle while being provided wine, cheese, crackers, and hand-crafted beer from Waikiki Brewing Co. This is also provided by the hospitality fee, so definitely take an advantage of the complementary wine, beer, and cheese!
If you are traveling alone or with a partner, it is easy to just stay in your room, not mingling with others, so if you are open to meeting some fellow travelers who are also staying at the Luana Waikiki, why don’t you get out of your room, enjoy some wine and beer with others and maybe find partners in crime to get out and enjoy a night out afterwards.
Enjoy your stay ‘Luana’ style
Something I felt while visiting this hotel for a brief period of time, is how friendly visitors seem to be at the Luana Waikiki more than at the other hotels. It could be all those complementary services provided by the hotel, making visitors come together and being more open with each other, but the hotel definitely has a unique charm to itself that made it comfortable and welcoming. As well as having WiFi internet access in the room, there is also free WiFi in the lobby so it makes it easy for travelers to communicate if they have visitors meeting at the lobby area as well.
For those who are looking for hotels, which host weddings, the Luana Waikiki provides wedding services as well as great deals for group discounts for girlfriend getaways and corporate retreats. Overall, the Luana Waikiki Hotel provides a comfortable and friendly atmosphere, which attracts families and large group of friends to stay at the boutique hotel.
