Sheraton Princess Kai’ulani

The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani stands as one of Waikiki’s largest and most enduring hospitality landmarks, offering a significant capacity of 1,104 guest rooms and suites. This impressive room count makes it a cornerstone for large-scale corporate conferences, group travel, and city-wide events that require substantial accommodation blocks. The hotel is built on the former estate of Hawai’i’s beloved Princess Victoria Kaiulani, and its location is a distinct advantage: it is positioned directly across from the world-famous Waikiki Beach, placing guests in the energetic center of Honolulu’s premier shopping, dining, and entertainment district.

For organizations and event planners, the hotel’s substantial meeting and event infrastructure is a key asset. The property features 10 dedicated event rooms, providing a combined total of 14,446 square feet of flexible function space. This space is well-suited for a variety of corporate functions, from large general sessions and banquets to focused breakout meetings and trade shows.

The centerpiece of the hotel’s event facilities is the Kaiulani Ballroom. At 7,952 square feet, this is the largest venue on-site, capable of accommodating up to 800 delegates in a theater configuration or hosting a banquet for 500 guests. The ballroom is highly adaptable and can be divided into three separate sections, allowing for simultaneous sessions or a mix of meeting and catering setups. A spacious pre-function foyer adjoins the ballroom, providing an ideal area for registration, networking receptions, or exhibit displays.

For medium-sized gatherings, the 2,160-square-foot Kapuni Room offers a versatile space that can host up to 200 people. It is an excellent choice for large breakout sessions, awards dinners, or company training programs. The 1,242-square-foot Lani Room provides another option for meetings or private dinners, comfortably holding up to 100 guests. Several smaller breakout rooms are also available, perfect for board meetings, administrative hubs, or speaker-ready rooms.

A unique feature for group events is the hotel’s outdoor Ainahau Showroom. This space serves as the venue for the hotel’s vibrant luau, offering an authentic Polynesian cultural experience with dining and entertainment. This on-site venue is a powerful tool for event planners, providing a turnkey solution for a memorable welcome reception or a celebratory closing event without the need for off-site transportation. The hotel’s dedicated event management and catering teams are equipped to handle all logistical, audiovisual, and culinary requirements for events of any scale.

The 1,104 accommodations are spread across three towers: the Ainahau Tower, the Kaiulani Tower, and the Princess Tower. This volume and variety allow group organizers to manage diverse budgets and preferences within a single booking. Rooms offer views of the city, the surrounding mountains, or partial and full views of the Pacific Ocean. Each room is appointed for comfort and productivity, featuring the Sheraton Signature Sleep Experience, a work desk, high-speed internet access, and a flat-screen TV.

Dining and amenities at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani are designed to support both individual business travelers and large groups. Splash & Crave offers a convenient all-day dining experience with classic American and local-inspired dishes. The Splash Bar, located by the hotel’s large freshwater swimming pool, provides a casual, open-air setting for lunch, tropical cocktails, and informal networking.

A significant benefit for corporate guests is the “Stay at One, Dine at All” program. As part of the Marriott complex in Waikiki, guests at the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani can enjoy and charge services from the neighboring Sheraton Waikiki and the luxurious Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, to their room. This massively expands the portfolio of available restaurants, bars, and amenities, giving attendees a premium experience and exceptional variety.

Additional on-site amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, a business center, and a robust program of cultural activities, such as lei making and hula lessons. The hotel’s prime location on Kalakaua Avenue means guests are steps away from the International Market Place, Royal Hawaiian Center, and endless options for group dining and team-building activities.
