This comfortable hotel sits at the entrance to Waikiki Beach, but it’s a short five- to ten-minute walk to the water. Ala Moana Shopping Center, the convention center, and many restaurants are within walking distance as well. Being a boutique property, it’s not as large as the area's more luxurious resorts, so its lobby and gueat rooms are small in comparison. However, the hotel is attractive and features lots of marble and contemporary furnishings. Besides leisure travelers, the Doubletree also caters to business travelers, offering them a well-equipped business center, office rental, secretarial services, and more. Guests give a thumbs-up to Padovani’s Bistro (see), a Mediterranean eatery that serves innovative dishes with an island flair, and Padovani’s Wine Bar.
