I travel to Honolulu a lot for work (tough, I know) and The Modern Honolulu is my favorite place to stay by far. It has a great location that's close to the heart of Waikiki, but a bit on the fringes, which means it's easy to hop on the Nimitz Highway and avoid the Waikiki traffic. The staff are amongst...

What beautiful rooms! We faced the apartment buildings, but what a beautiful view of the sunset every night and the wharf to greet us in the morning. (14th floor) We had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. Night time was really quiet. Room service was rather expensive. $25 for a basic 3 egg/bacon/toast breakfast for one person.... More

Excellent room - clean, spacious, comfortable, although it was noisy when the nightclub was open. The conceirge was very pleasant and helpful - she booked tickets for Pearl Harbour and arranged transport for us. Very good location as only a short walk to Waikiki beach. Free coffee supplied in the lounge area first thing in a morning, but you have... More

We stayed at The Modern on our last weekend in Waikiki and loved it! Definately one of the most current hotels in the area catering to an urban customer! The service was excellent and we manged to get a great upgrade at a reasonable price last minute! This is a great place for couples including same sex!

If you prefer a clean, modern and trendy esthetics, you will like this hotel. We really enjoyed our stay. The room itself isn’t super fancy, but is serene and comfortable. The pools and outdoor bar are lovely, reminiscence of a spa. The staffs were all very friendly. The best part for us is that the Modern seems to be tailored... More

Stayed there for four nights in a city view room, but we were able to see the ocean and the pool. The room was very clean, decent size with two double beds. The staff were very nice and responsive to our questions. The complimentary coffee maker (you have to ask for) was great, it comes with lots of coffee and... More

We stayed at this hotel in November and were hoping for a lot. We booked before the management "reshuffle" but our reservations were honoured. Unfortunately our "ocean view" room wasn't. it looked towards the adjacent hotel, and you needed to be on the balcony looking sideways to see the ocean. In my opinion this is just plain dishonest, and a... More

the hotel is all it promises to be...great rooms, good views, amazing restaurants. Its modern in every way. The staff is friendly and helpful, concierge is good but not as great as the other hotels. The best part are the 2 pools...especially the salt water pool with a great poolside bar.

My husband and I were on vacation to celebrate our anniversary. From the several times we've been to Hawaii, this has been the best visit we've had and I believe it has a lot to do with the "home" we made ourselves at The Modern Honolulu during our stay. The staff was always friendly, ready with a smile, (even if... More
