Sheraton Waikiki

For groups dreaming of a classic Hawaiian getaway with the Pacific Ocean as their backdrop, the Sheraton Waikiki in Honolulu delivers an unparalleled setting for large events. Located directly on the world famous Waikiki Beach, this hotel is a cornerstone of hospitality on Oahu, designed to accommodate thousands of guests while providing exceptional spaces for gatherings. Its prime strength lies in blending expansive indoor function areas with breathtaking outdoor venues, making it a top contender for events where inspiration and scenery are key.

The hotel’s event facilities are as impressive as its views. With over 37,000 square feet of meeting space, the Sheraton Waikiki can host everything from a corporate sales conference to a breathtaking oceanfront gala. The Hawaii Convention Center is also just a short walk away, positioning the hotel as an ideal headquarters for even larger conventions. The crown jewels of its event portfolio are the outdoor options. The resort features two distinct and massive pool decks that double as exceptional event spaces. The main Infinity Edge pool is a social hub, perfect for large welcome receptions or networking events with Diamond Head views. For a more exclusive feel, the adult-only Helumoa Playground pool offers another versatile venue option. Imagine hosting a banquet under the stars with the sound of waves just steps away.

Beyond the dedicated meeting rooms, the entire resort is built to facilitate a fluid and engaging group experience. The design encourages movement and socialization in stunning environments.

Key features for groups and event planners include:

• Unbeachable Waikiki Beach Access: Direct, private access to the sand for team-building exercises, sunrise yoga sessions, or evening beach luaus.

• Multiple Pool Environments: The two large pool decks provide built-in activity centers for guests, reducing the need to schedule off-site excursions.

• RumFire and Edge of Waikiki: Two sophisticated bars that serve as perfect pre-arranged meeting points for casual mixers or VIP cocktail hours.
