The 10 Largest Hotels in Hawaii
Most of the ten largest hotels in Hawaii are located
in Waikiki on the south coast of the island of Oahu, but the 4th
largest hotel in Hawaii is located on the Kohola coast of the
Big Island and the 10th largest hotel in Hawaii is in the Kaanapali Resort
area of Maui. If you want to make
new friends and socialize during your trip, large hotels are
often a good choice. Other benefits of large hotels:
they typically have more restaurants, more bars, more swimming pools,
more shops, and more organized activities then smaller hotels.

Hilton Hawaiian Village
(Oahu)
The enormous Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort on Waikiki Beach has
nearly 3000 rooms, making it the largest hotel in Hawaii by a large margin.
It is located on the far west end of Waikiki, between
the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and Fort DeRussy Park.
The resort is split into six "villages"
or towers, making it feel smaller then the mammoth resort that it is.
The Hilton Hawaiian village has five pools, more then twenty restaurants,
several shopping areas, and its own branch of the Bishop Museum.
The hotel also has a children's program called the Rainbow Express
Keiki Club and the body treatments at the resort's Mandara Spa
include a chocolate massage for two!

At one time, the

was one of the 10 largest hotels in Hawaii, but it is currently
in the process of being renovated as part of the Waikiki
Beach Walk Project. One its towers will always
be closed until the Fall of 2008, and I'm not sure
how many rooms the hotel will have when the project
is completed.
