The Kahala Hotel & Resort is located on the island of Oahu just ten minutes from Waikiki, in the most prestigious residential area known as Kahala. The resort is situated among exotic gardens complete with a waterfall and lagoon which is home to fun-loving Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins, sea turtles and an array of tropical fish. The property sits on a secluded crescent shaped beach overlooking both Diamond Head and Koko Head craters.
The Kahala Hotel & Resort features 338-rooms, panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Ko’olau Mountain Range, and the quiet tranquility of the resort’s Dolphin Lagoon. The legendary resort was originally built by Conrad Hilton who fashioned it as a secluded, exclusive retreat away from the boom of Waikiki. After it opened in 1964, it was soon embraced by the Hollywood community and became a magnet for celebrities and wealthy world travelers seeking a luxurious and private hideaway. Today, The Kahala Hotel & Resort is still a gathering place for the glitterati. In addition, families, couples and even business travelers have also discovered the virtues of this world-class resort.

Jan 30, 2023Great location and staff, but in need of renovation
Love the location and staff, but the hotel is showing wear and tear. Chipped paint everywhere, torn furniture, stains on carpet, etc. The hotel was open during COVID, but perhaps a missed opportunity to refresh the rooms and public areas. We stayed on a package that included breakfast. The buffet is decent, but should have more options and higher quality for the price. Would prefer to have an allowance that can be used to order off the menu rather than only the buffet

Jan 29, 2023YUKI the star at the amazing Kahala Hotel
A big thanks to YUKI at reception. Without all your efforts and kindness, our stay would not have occurred. You were a delight to deal with, moving heaven and earth to ensure our reservation. You are an absolute asset to the hotel. If I was in the hotel business, I would hire you. Also thank you Alejandra and all the crew at Dolphin Quest. You and those majestic dolphins make the magic happen. We were overwhelmed by how friendly all the staff were and delighted to find an establishment that still offers good old-fashioned service and a smile. Thank you, Daniela

Jan 29, 2023Kahala Hotel… Luxury hotel or a Motel?
It’s really OUTDATED and DIRTY! Overcharged for the condition of the room. I’m guessing the interior is unchanged from the 70’s. But the staffs are nice. Room service though is quite fast and efficient.

Very Welcoming
ALL staff were extremely courteous and professional. While we did not end up using much of the amenities on property, the front desk, bell staff, and valet were exceptional and kind. The valet service was the best I had ever experienced and an outstanding reflection of the resort's culture and Ohana. The great staff made for a great visit!

Beautiful property with exceptional service
Kalehua at the front desk was the most fabulous and made our stay so special! All of the staff are gracious and so helpful making you feel truly pampered. The dolphins were a bonus treat to see each morning.
