Intimately located on Honolulu’s exclusive “gold coast” at the base of Diamond Head, the Aqua Lotus Honolulu is less than half a mile away from world-class dining, shopping and entertainment that Waikiki has to offer.
Distance to:

A trip to Waikiki would truly be wasted if you didn’t hike to the punchbowl crater of Diamond Head, a monument as famous as the island it calls home. Considered an iconic symbol of the Hawaiian Islands, it is not only a must-see, but a unique hiking experience. Although not considered to be a difficult hike, it is by no means a casual one, with steep stairs leading to the summit that afford spectacular panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu’s southern coastline, and easily accessible from our Waikiki hotel.
After hiking under the sun to Diamond Head Crater, you’ll enjoy shopper’s paradise at Ala Moana Shopping Center, the largest open-air shopping center in the world. Shops specialize in everything from beachwear to high fashion, and visitors will find a variety of international cuisines to sample at both casual eateries and fine dining restaurants. With tropical landscaping and koi ponds, you’ll find yourself in an indoor Hawaiian oasis away from the sun.
