About Moana Surfrider  

ABOUT THE MOANA SURFRIDER, A WESTIN RESORT

Known affectionately as the “First Lady of Waikiki,” the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort, is located in the heart of Waikiki, within walking distance of major attractions, world-class shopping, dining and entertainment. Being the first hotel in Waikiki (dating to 1901), we command the prime oceanfront location as evidenced by the beach activities fronting our resort: surfing, outrigger canoeing, catamaran rides, and sun worshiping. Visitors recognize the Moana as offering the best of both worlds: a host of dynamic activities await as you cross the threshold of our front doors, and inside, there remains a calm, quieter place reminiscent of a simpler time in Hawaii. The lobby maintains an intimate feeling; our elegant atmosphere attributed to the rich history of the Moana. Relaxing under the shade of our historic banyan tree where Robert Louis Stevenson wrote poetry almost a century ago, guests nearly forget they are right at the doorstep of bustling Waikiki.

Comprised of three separate towers constructed to meet the growing demand for oceanfront property, the Moana offers a variety of accommodations throughout the Diamond, Banyan, and Tower wings. The hotel has a  total of 793 rooms including 46 suites.

The Moana offers restaurants and lounges along with a Snack Bar and Banyan Grill, 24 hour Room Service, and exceptional function space totaling over 15,000 square feet. Additionally, we offer a “Stay at One, Dine at All” philosophy whereby guests can stay at any one of the four Starwood hotels in Waikiki, dine at all four hotels or attend the Royal Hawaiian Luau or the Creation - A Polynesian Journey Show at the Princess Kaiulani and simply charge it back to their rooms. This feature truly allows our guests to expand the walls of their resort and enjoy so much more that Starwood’s Waikiki properties have to offer.

Just steps away from Waikiki Beach, the hotel is located 9 miles from Honolulu International Airport.

Private transportation may be arranged through the hotel Concierge.
