The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach
Waikiki’s residential-style Ritz-Carlton rises above the neighborhood with redesigned suites, full kitchens in many accommodations and two of the area’s highest infinity pools overlooking the Pacific.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach occupies two modern towers on Kalaimoku Street, a short walk from the sand and the luxury shopping of Kalakaua Avenue. The property is not directly beachfront, but its elevation creates broad ocean and Diamond Head views.
Accommodation blends hotel service with residential practicality. Many rooms and suites include kitchens or kitchenettes, while larger multi-bedroom residences are designed for families and groups who need living rooms, dining space and in-room laundry.
The property has recently entered a new chapter with redesigned accommodations, refreshed infinity pools and updated dining concepts. Its two elevated pools—an adults-oriented pool and a larger resort pool—are among the highest infinity pools in Waikiki and look across Fort DeRussy toward the Pacific.
Wellness facilities include a spa and 24-hour fitness center, while the residential format makes longer stays unusually easy. The wider Waikiki neighborhood provides beaches, surfing, restaurants and shopping within walking distance.
The Ritz-Carlton Residences is best for travelers who value space and home-like conveniences more than a toes-in-the-sand location. The views, kitchens and large suites make it especially effective for longer or multigenerational Hawaii trips.
