Ka La'i Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts

Ka La'i Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts occupies a central Waikiki position beside Fort DeRussy Park, close to the beach, Luxury Row boutiques and the wider energy of Honolulu. The resort combines a contemporary Hawaiian design language with residential-style studios and suites, many offering kitchen facilities, private lanais and views toward the Pacific or Diamond Head. A $100 million transformation refreshed the public areas, accommodations, infinity pool and Spa Ka La'i, while locally influenced artwork and natural materials give the interiors a distinct sense of place. Dining spans The Kini Room, a Pacific Rim restaurant; Muse Lounge, a lobby cocktail bar; and Bloom Cafe & Restaurant, which focuses on breakfast and island ingredients. The overall atmosphere is polished but relaxed, offering a calmer base from which to experience Waikiki.
