The Kahala Hotel and Resort
An oasis outside of Waikiki
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star

Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended

Soon To Be Rated
As our highly trained, incognito inspectors work to assess properties, our editors check them out ahead of time and provide a sneak preview of what to expect.
Tucked away in an affluent residential
neighborhood at the base of Diamond Head, The Kahala Hotel and Resort is a
secluded alternative to the hotels in bustling Waikiki, just five miles away.
The world-class,
Forbes
Travel Guide Four-Star resort sprawls
along 800 feet of pristine coastline on Oahu’s southern shore,
with 306 guest rooms and 32 suites, including a luxurious 2,200-square-foot
Presidential Suite that has hosted Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles and
Princess Diana, Monaco’s Prince Rainier and Queen Grace and the Emperor and
Empress of Japan.
The Kahala Hotel and Resort delivers privacy — there are no other hotels
nearby — while being minutes from malls, restaurants, beaches and hiking
trails.
One notable
addition to the Oahu hotel after its 2017 renovation is a new art piece in the
lobby. Called Harmony of Paradise,
this 13-foot-tall carved piece of wood from Thailand depicts tropical palms,
pineapples and birds living together in harmony.
