HONOLULU – one of the most beautiful coastal cities in the world – is the vibrant capital of the state of Hawaii. At its heart is Waikiki, a lively tourist district and a beachfront neighborhood on the south shore of the island of Oahu.
The popular strip of Kalakaua Avenue is home to an array of shopping, dining and entertainment outlets, and is a whole lot of fun for both adults and kids.
On the Kalakaua strip is one of Waikiki’s most-loved resorts – Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa. The resort sits on one of the most preferred addresses in all of Honolulu, right in the thick of the action facing the Duke Kahanamoku Statue.
The hotel will ring in its 40th anniversary this year, a milestone for the Hyatt Regency brand. There’s every reason for celebration, including that the hotel recently spent US$100 million in refurbishment efforts.
The resort now boasts 1,230 guest rooms, all which feature plush Hyatt Grand beds, 55-inch flat screen TVs, iHome stereo with iPod docking stations, free WiFi, Toto® Washlets, and exclusive bath products from Na Ho’ola Spa. From the get go, you’re enveloped in luxury.
When booking a room here, it’s worth putting up in an Ocean Front room, so you get to wake up to the sight of the vermilion sun rising over the shimmering turquoise waters. These rooms are some of the largest in the hotel and offer a private balcony for many hours of contemplation facing the sea.
The Ocean View room too boasts beautiful views; in addition to the sea, guests get a glimpse of a stretch of Kalakaua as well as the Diamond Head Crater, one of Hawaii’s most recognized icons.
The opulent Presidential Suite offers the added privilege of a separate kitchen, an eight-seat dining table, a sound bar with wireless speakers, and a Nespresso coffee maker.
Any beach holiday worth its clout must include a relaxing spa session, and at Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa, the award-winning Na Ho’ola Spa is an expansive space with 16 treatment rooms, dry saunas and a gift shop.
A traditional form of Hawaiian massage, Lomi Lomi is “the art of love and healing through the hands and heart.” At Na Ho’ola Spa, the therapist kneads muscle tension and stress away. Couples may opt for massages side-by-side as well.
A selection of facial and specialty body treatment services offers personalized healing and rejuvenation. Consider the Carita Facial, a three step treatment that infuses your skin with radiance and youthfulness, or the Hawaiian Hibiscus Indulgence, which starts with a hibiscus sugar scrub, progresses with a hibiscus body wrap with a heavenly scalp massage, and ends with the application of a hibiscus body butter to seal in the hydration.
Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa’s signature restaurant Japengo features the flavors of the islands. Incorporating the bounty of ingredients from local farmers, dairies, and ranchers, the posh, contemporary restaurant offers fresh exotic expressions of Hawaii regional cuisine.
Tempt your palate as you savor Chef Joseph Rose’s take on local flavors with popular favorites such as the Scallops Truffleyaki, Singaporean Chili Lobster Tails, Foie Gras Loco Moco, and Coconut Crème Brulee. Pair them with a selection of inspired cocktails or fine wines for a memorable culinary experience.
In a city rich with culture, Hawaiian advisors are on-site to assist guests with queries about the state and its history. Friendly hotel staff will also recommend activities and tours for visitors who need a helping hand.
With that, guests need only wear flower garlands around their necks and say aloha to complete this quintessential Hawaiian experience.
