Spent two nights here last summer on a girls' trip to Hawaii and we were BLOWN AWAY by the service, atmosphere and beauty of the Royal Hawaiian. We cannot WAIT to go back.
The valets and the porters were particularly helpful and friendly and have stayed with us as one of the highlights of this hotel. We were also offered a free upgrade to a "partial ocean view" room which had a GORGEOUS view of the ocean from this historic wing (which we LOVED.)
On my last day there, I had a redeye flight out of Honolulu and the hotel was so accommodating, holding my bags, giving beach and pool privilieges after my official checkout and even providing a suite where I could shower and change before my flight. SO appreciated it!
Huge thanks to everyone at the Royal Hawaiian! It was a magical trip and we will definitely be back.
