About this Stay

I stayed for five nights at the ALOHILANI Hotel in Honolulu.

There are several hotels in Honolulu that offer exclusive lounges for guests, but among them, the Alohilani Hotel is often regarded as having one of the highest-quality lounges.

I chose this hotel looking forward to the lounge experience, including breakfast and dinner, a wide selection of wines from around the world, craft draft beers, various hams and cheeses, homemade chocolates, cookies, and desserts.

Each day, I enjoyed views of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from my room’s balcony. With no insects coming in even when the windows were open, I was able to fully enjoy the pleasant ocean breeze throughout my six-day stay.
