Description
Description
Step back in time at Waikiki's first hotel,
which dates from 1901 and is listed on the National Register of
Historic Places. Considered an innovation in the travel industry,
the Moana featured a private bathroom and a telephone in each guest
room -- an unheard-of luxury at the turn of the 20th century.
Yesteryear lives on at this grand hotel: Entry is through the
original colonial porte-cochere, past the highly polished front
porch dotted with rocking chairs, and into the perfectly restored
lobby with detailed millwork and intricate plasterwork. The female
employees even wear traditional Victorian-era muumuus. The aloha
spirit that pervades this classy and charming place is
infectious.The hotel consists of three wings: the
original (and totally restored) Banyan Wing, the Diamond Wing, and
the Tower Wing. It's hard to get a bad room here; most have ocean
views, and all come with pampering amenities like bedside controls
and plush robes. But we're especially taken with the Banyan Wing
rooms: What they lack in size (they're on the smallish side and
don't have lanais), they make up for in style; even the fixtures in
the smallish bathrooms are modern-day replicas of 19th-century
hardware. You get the feel for Old Hawaii here, with daily Hawaiian
arts and crafts activities such as coconut-palm weaving and
Hawaiian quilting; be sure to visit the Historical Room, where a
variety of memorabilia is on display.One of the best reasons to stay here is the
hotel's prime stretch of beach, with lifeguard, beach chairs,
towels, and any other service you desire. The Beach Bar and a
poolside snack bar are in the oceanfront courtyard that's centered
around a 100-year-old banyan tree, where there's live music in the
evenings.
Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar;
outdoor pool; nearby fitness room (about a 2-min. walk down the
beach at the Sheraton Waikiki); watersports equipment rentals;
children's program (featuring both onsite activities and excursions
to the Honolulu Zoo and the Waikiki Aquarium); nearby game room (a
stroll down the beach at the Sheraton Waikiki); concierge;
activities desk; car-rental desk; nearby business center (a few
min. away at the Royal Hawaiian); very upscale shopping arcade;
salon; room service; massage; babysitting; coin-op washer/dryers;
same-day laundry service and dry cleaning.
