Waikiki Parc Hotel

The Halekulani’s sister hotel lies just across the street from its (much more) expensive sibling. This casual, low-key property has comfortable, cheerful rooms that have all the basic necessities covered. Ask for an ocean-view room for spectacular vistas over Waikiki Beach and the Pacific Ocean—or you can take it in from the rooftop swimming pool (one of the few rooftop pools on the island). The hotel is also home to an artist-in-residence program, which promotes local up-and-coming artists by displaying their work—which is available to purchase—in the lobby.
