Moana Surfrider

Known as the “First Lady of Waikiki,” the Moana Surfrider opened in 1901 as the first hotel on the shores of Waikiki Beach. This historic property is celebrated for its grand Victorian architecture, including its iconic porte-cochere and white columns. The hotel’s 793 rooms and suites are divided among three distinct sections: the original, historic Banyan Wing; the Diamond Wing; and the modern Tower Wing.

The hotel blends its turn-of-the-century elegance with contemporary amenities and services. The Banyan Courtyard, which features a massive, historic banyan tree planted in 1904, is a central feature of the property. This courtyard is home to the Beach Bar, an oceanfront spot for tropical drinks and casual dining. Other dining options include Beachhouse at the Moana for fine dining with ocean views and The Veranda, which offers breakfast, lunch, and a traditional afternoon tea service.

Guests have access to a range of facilities and cultural activities during their stay.

• The Moana Lani Spa, which is the only beachfront spa in Waikiki.
• An outdoor swimming pool that overlooks Waikiki Beach.
• A state-of-the-art fitness center.
• On-site cultural activities such as hula lessons, lei-making classes, and historical tours of the property.
• Vintage 1901, a wine bar and lounge in the hotel’s lobby that features live entertainment.

The Moana Surfrider offers a unique experience that combines the rich history of Honolulu with the services of a modern resort. Its beachfront location provides direct access to the ocean and is within walking distance of Waikiki’s main shopping and entertainment attractions.
