Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head

Our week long stay at The Lotus Hotel was so much more than imagined. From our corner room on the 9th floor we had spectacular views of Diamond Head and the Pacific Ocean. I only wish the restaurant were open more hours (Wednesday thru Sunday, dinners only), it was fantastic, especially the Happy Hour menu between 5-6:00pm. The staff at the restaurant and the hotel were friendly and helpful. Another big plus was the Hui Car Rental at the hotel since we only needed a car for a few hours on two days.

Staying at Lotus Honolulu was a great experience, starting with the friendly check in and throughout our stay. We took advantage of the complimentary beach chairs and towels for sitting out at the nearby quiet beach and enjoyed sitting on our balcony with gorgeous views of Diamond Head. We would highly recommend the hotel for anyone wanting to be by Waikiki, but in a more serene setting.

It was an amazing experience and will definitely come again! The staff were so kind and the quality was amazing !

I loved my stay here. The hotel is on the quieter end of Waikiki, which made it feel calm and relaxing while still being very walkable to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and my room was beautiful, clean, and had amazing views. It was the perfect place to unwind after a day out. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful Waikiki stay with great service and location.

We had a corner ocean view room, room 925. The view from the room was disappointing but from the balcony was good. The room was clean and comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was great. It was on the quiet end so we had to walk a ways to get to restaurant choices and shopping but there was a small market next door that had some things. It was a bit tricky to find because the sign wasn't lit up at night when we arrived. I would stay here again.

Friendly and helpful staff. Very comfortable room with nice amenities. Beautiful views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. We recommend a walk on the beach at sunrise with coffee and pastries from Kaimana Coffee nearby. My wife loved their gluten-free muffin. Nice walk through the park and along the beach to the Waikiki Beach area.

The location of the Lotus made it easy to enjoy the beautiful beaches without the huge crowds of the nearby Waikiki area. The casual Barefoot Beach Cafe was only a short walk from the hotel and it offered great food and beachside dining.

Our stay was absolutely incredible. The atmosphere was amazing—so romantic and exactly what I was looking for. From the moment we arrived, everything felt special and thoughtfully designed for a relaxing getaway. Ella, Katu, and Nikki were all so warm and attentive. They went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed and truly made the experience even more enjoyable. The save ice activity was such a fun and refreshing experience, definitely a highlight of our trip! We also rented bikes, which turned out to be one of our favorite parts of the stay. We took a beautiful morning ride around the park, headed to breakfast on the beach, and even discovered a few hidden beaches along the way. It was absolutely perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and can’t wait to come back!

We had such a great stay at the Lotus Honolulu at Diamond Head. What I love most about this hotel is the location. It is tucked into a quiet, beautiful area away from all the chaos of Waikiki, but still close enough if you want to head into the action. The staff were consistently warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived. Everyone we interacted with was genuinely kind and helpful, which made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed. The rooms were comfortable, the setting near Diamond Head is gorgeous, and the overall vibe is calm and low key in the best way. If you want the beauty of Honolulu without the crowds and noise, this place is a gem. I would absolutely stay here again.

We had a huge, wonderfully comfortable room with an oversized bathroom and a seriously powerful shower—always a small luxury that makes a big difference. Our corner room near the top floor offered views of Diamond Head and the water, which felt like a private postcard every morning. The gym alone is worth mentioning: beautifully equipped with a full range of Keiser weight machines—truly top of the line and a rare find in a hotel fitness center. Tucked away from the bustle of Waikiki, this hotel feels like an underappreciated gem—peaceful, and polished. Don't hesitate to stay here.
