This 50-room boutique hotel is inspired by the lotus blossom, which blooms from the depths of a pond into a beautifully scented flower, much like the formation of the Hawaiian islands. The Lotus at Diamond Head is a fusion of Asian inspired décor and warm Hawaiian hospitality. In the lobby (living room), guests can tantalize their mind with board games, soothing sounds and aromatic scents, or jump into a (Nintendo) Wii game or two with the devices and 42” flat panel screen available.

Within the park is the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium and Waikiki Shell – an outdoor amphitheater for musical concerts ranging from orchestra to jazz and Jack Johnson’s annual Kokua Festival concert. On the weekends, the hottest spot in town is The Nightclub, with Honolulu’s hip and beautiful strutting to the hotel’s second floor for fierce sounds and upbeat vibes, until the wee hours of the morning. Whether you are seeking a peaceful moment, a night out at one of the best clubs in town, or a convenient business stay, The Lotus at Diamond Head has it all, and with great style too.
