This hotel is popular with business travelers and those who want convenient access to the Hawai‘i Convention Center a few minutes’ walk away. The rooms had modern decor when they were first decorated—now the rich chocolates and aqua tones feel a little dated. The bathrooms have shower stalls only, with hand-held shower heads—no tubs (except in suites). The rooms are nicely appointed and reasonably sized with Hilton’s Sweet Dreams beds, but the views are unimpressive.
You have access to the Mandara Spa at the Hilton Hawaiian Village. They have a decent-sized fitness room facing the large pool deck. It’s not a dreamy vacation paradise; it’s a convenient place for business travelers that’s uncomplicated and big enough to have all the features business travelers need without being so big that it takes hours to find them. Rooms are 330–375 sq. ft., suites are 627–1,000 sq. ft.
