Ka La’i Waikīkī Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts opened this month, marking the Hilton brand’s debut in Hawaii.

Situated above Fort DeRussy Park with views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head, Ka La’i Waikīkī Beach is just steps from Waikīkī Beach and surrounded by restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife.

Spanning 38 storeys, the hotel features 462 residential-style guestrooms and suites; a state-of-the-art wellness facility; a 24-hour fitness center; an infinity pool with an expansive sun deck; five indoor and outdoor venues and event spaces; two signature restaurants offering contemporary cuisine in addition to in-room dining and in-suite chef services; a variety of beach services and amenities; and a 24-hour business center and library.

In 2025, the property will begin an interior architecture and design renovation led by Bryan O’Sullivan Studio (BOS Studio). Planned in phases over several months, the renovation will encompass upgrades to guestrooms and suites, and public spaces, including lobbies, pool areas, spa, fitness center, landscaping, and interiors. In addition, Ka La’i Waikīkī Beach’s signature restaurants will be reconceptualized, and the ground floor destination restaurant will soon be helmed by an internationally-acclaimed restaurateur and chef.

“We’re thrilled to expand our portfolio in this fabulous and vibrant destination with the debut of Ka La’i Waikīkī Beach,” said Danny Hughes, president, Americas, Hilton. “Hawaii has played an important role in Hilton’s history ever since Conrad Hilton purchased one of our most renowned hotels, Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, more than 60 years ago. We’re delighted to build upon Conrad’s vision with our first LXR Hotels & Resorts in the state, and we look forward to offering our guests another incredible location to experience the best of Honolulu and Hawaiian culture.”

“The debut of LXR Hotels & Resorts in Waikīkī Beach underscores our commitment to delivering world-class hospitality in the most coveted destinations. As the inaugural property in Hawaii for LXR Hotels & Resorts, Ka La’i Waikīkī Beach embodies the sophisticated and one-of-a-kind essence of our brand,” said Feisal Jaffer, global head, LXR Hotels & Resorts.
