The Royal Hawaiian — Waikīkī

The Royal Hawaiian — the "Pink Palace of the Pacific" — is the most iconic hotel on Waikīkī Beach. Opened in 1927, its Spanish-Moorish towers, pink stucco, and coconut grove have anchored the shoreline for nearly a century. For kamaʻāina, it's a bucket-list stay, and Hawaiʻi residents get one of the best rates the property offers all year.

Kamaʻāina rate at The Royal Hawaiian

As one of the four Waikiki Collection hotels, The Royal Hawaiian offers Hawaiʻi residents a strong kamaʻāina deal:

• 40% off the retail rate with the resort fee waived — the headline resident offer.
• Or up to 25% off the room rate using promo code Z43.
• Book under cluster code L9Z on Marriott.com to see the resident rates.

You'll need a valid Hawaiʻi State Resident ID at check-in and a Hawaiʻi address at the time of booking, and each room must be occupied by a Hawaiʻi resident. The offer isn't valid for groups of 10 or more rooms and can't be combined with other promotions; blackout dates may apply, so compare your dates.

What locals love

• The pink everything — from the towers to the famous Pink Palace details and the beach umbrellas
• Mai Tai Bar at sunset, right on the sand — the classic Waikīkī cocktail in its spiritual home
• One of the best stretches of Waikīkī Beach, plus the historic coconut grove and oceanfront pool
• The sense of history — nearly 100 years as the grande dame of Hawaiʻi hotels

Who it's best for

The Royal Hawaiian is a special-occasion stay — an anniversary, a milestone birthday, or a once-in-a-while splurge staycation. It's for residents who want the classic, iconic Waikīkī landmark rather than a modern high-rise, and who'll make the most of the beachfront and the Mai Tai Bar.

How to book your kamaʻāina rate

Book online through Marriott.com using cluster code L9Z (or promo code Z43 for the 25%-off plan), or call the hotel at 808-923-7311 and ask for the Hawaiʻi-resident rate. Have your valid Hawaiʻi ID ready at check-in, and book early for weekends and holidays.
