Frequently Asked Questions
Is Prince Waikiki the same as the Hawaii Prince Hotel?
Yes. Prince Waikiki is the rebranded name of what was formerly the Hawaii Prince Hotel Waikiki. The property is the same — same location at the Ala Wai Harbor entrance, same all-ocean-view tower configuration, same Seibu Prince ownership and hospitality. The rebrand to "Prince Waikiki" simplified the name and modernized the brand identity. Locals sometimes still call it the Hawaii Prince — it's the same hotel.
What makes Prince Waikiki "all ocean view"?
Prince Waikiki was designed so that every guestroom and suite faces the Pacific Ocean — there are no parking-lot view or mountain-view rooms. The property's two interconnected towers were positioned and oriented to give every room a Pacific view. This is unusual in Waikiki, where most hotels have a mix of view categories at different price points.
How does the Kamaaina Wine & Dine Package work?
The Kamaaina Wine & Dine Package combines an oceanfront room or suite (from $259/night) with a $75 dining credit per stay, waived resort charge, and 10% off pool cabana rentals. It requires a 3-night minimum stay. The dining credit can be used at any of the on-property restaurants including 100 Sails. This package is one of the better kamaaina dining values in Waikiki when you factor in the resort charge waiver.
Can I use the Prince Waikiki kamaaina rate at Hawaii Prince Golf Club?
The Prince Waikiki and Hawaii Prince Golf Club run separate kamaaina programs. The hotel kamaaina rate doesn't automatically include golf, but Hawaii Prince Golf Club (located in Ewa Beach, about 30 minutes from Waikiki) has its own kamaaina rates for residents. Hotel guests can call the golf club Pro Shop at (808) 944-4567 to book kamaaina tee times.
Is Prince Waikiki close to Waikiki Beach?
Prince Waikiki is at the Ala Wai Harbor entrance to Waikiki — technically the Diamond Head edge of the Ala Moana area rather than Kalakaua Avenue. It's about a 10-15 minute walk to Waikiki Beach proper, or you can walk to Ala Moana Beach Park (closer, about 10 minutes). The hotel's infinity pool and ocean views often satisfy guests who don't feel the need to walk to the beach itself.
