Situated at the gateway to Waikiki on O’ahu, the hotel blends the spirit of local charm with Hilton’s renowned hospitality, offering a distinctive and authentic experience for visitors.

The integration of Hilton Honors, Hilton’s industry-leading loyalty program, enhances the experience, providing guests with the opportunity to earn rewards while enjoying exceptional amenities and service.

Brandon Kaya, General Manager of The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki, expressed his excitement, saying, “Being the first property in Hawai‘i to join Tapestry Collection by Hilton reflects our commitment to delivering personalized hospitality that is deeply rooted in a sense of place. It’s about providing our guests with a true Waikiki experience, one that’s not only about where you stay but how you experience the culture of the island.”

The Ambassador Hotel’s signature “This Is How We Waikiki” approach captures the essence of local hospitality, embracing a culture of warmth, insider knowledge, and effortless moments of connection. This philosophy is reflected in the hotel’s design and services, which combine a mid-century modern aesthetic with nods to the property’s origins dating back to the 1960s. The 368-room hotel features a variety of accommodations, including spacious two-bedroom suites and the only lofted bunk-bed rooms in Waikiki, making it a great choice for families and groups. The tropical-inspired interiors bring the island’s natural beauty indoors, with cozy lanais, private retreats, and comfortable lounges for guests to relax.

Guests can enjoy a range of on-site amenities and activities designed to enhance their stay. The Waikiki Swim & Social Club, a retro-inspired pool and cabana deck, offers tropical cocktails, locally inspired snacks, and breathtaking views. Visitors can also take advantage of the fully equipped fitness center, weekly poolside pilates sessions, and beach rentals from Beach Candy Waikiki. The hotel is also dedicated to making a positive impact on the local community, partnering with the City of Honolulu for initiatives like the King Kalakaua Park clean-up.
