A Waikīkī Icon, Redefined.
Inspired by the glow of a Chinese lantern, the Waikīkī Circle Hotel has been a symbol of creativity and ambition since 1963. The hotel was built on land purchased in 1940 by Emma Kwock Chun, who came to Hawaiʻi from China at sixteen and built her dream at a time when few Asian women could.
Still family owned, the Waikiki Circle continues to honor her vision with a fresh, modern spirit.
Everything you want, just a short stroll away.

What Our Guests Say About Us.

Best hotel we could find on Waikiki Beach
"The staff are very, very friendly. The view from our room to the Pacific, Waikiki Beach and the Banyan tree was absolutely the best. Rooms are big and were very clean, we will for sure be coming back."

Wonderful place to be!
"Great staff at the Reception desk, It only took them few minutes to accommodate me even I arrived there earlier than planned."

"Small room but large balcony. First time staying at the Circle, we were very impressed. Staff were outstanding. Rooms clean. Great views. We will be back!"

Great View and Location
"I thoroughly enjoyed staying in this hotel. The room was tastefully decorated, had a comfortable bed, and some original artwork on the wall. There was an amenities package that included free WiFi and free tickets to the Bishop Museum and Honolulu Art Gallery."

Amazing Location
"The location is unbeatable. The rooms are not very big, but they are very clean and have everything you need. The ones with views of Waikiki Beach are incredible. Parking is necessary because it is very limited in the area. The available space is somewhat small. It is not always available, so it is advisable to reserve a spot upon arrival."

"Though I had read that this hotel was dated, I think those reviews were being overly critical. The beds and pillows were comfortable, the air conditioning perfect and much appreciated. The size of the room was sufficient for us as a couple and cosy unlike some hotels where I stayed, the size of the room for a couple has been ridiculous. All of the staff were wonderfully friendly."
