Gay Hotel Honolulu Hawaii

Located at the front of the International Marketplace right on Kalakaua Road, The Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa is one of the most booked beachfront gay-friendly hotels in Honolulu, Hawaii, and is the place to stay if you want to gay-bar hop. There are two bars right at the marketplace and more a few steps away.

The rooms are tastefully decorated in the classic white and blue familiar throughout Waikiki. Every room has a balcony and a city or ocean view. Of course, we love that you can bring your dog or cat (as long as they weigh <50 lbs), which is an added bonus.

The iconic Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel is next door to the Aston Waikiki Beach Tower and it’s one of the most booked budget gay-friendly hotels in Honolulu, Hawaii. It stands out in every picture of Waikiki due to its shape. It’s directly across the road from Waikiki Beach and a block away from the International marketplace.

There is no in-house restaurant for guests, but the extremely popular Eggs ‘n Things, a Honolulu icon for over 40 years, is located on the ground floor, and hotel guests get 10% off.

For those of you who want a resort slightly away from the hustle and bustle. Ramada Plaza by Wyndham is an excellent option.

Getting to the beach is only a few minute’s walk via the Hilton’s lagoon area. Rooms have city or ocean views. There is an on-site restaurant, and you get a discount when you show your room key; alternatively, the Ala Moana Shopping Center is nearby.

If you’re in Honolulu for Pride in October, the Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki is an excellent choice. It’s described as a hidden gem within walking distance of the Hawaii Convention Center, where many Pride activities are held.

Since 1901, ‘The First Lady of Waikiki’ has been the place to stay on Waikiki Beach. Classic elegance radiates from every corner of the hotel. The hotel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and every room in the Banyan Wing is reminiscent of the original rooms. For a more contemporary stay, choose the Tower Wing; all rooms have balconies and ocean views.

Swim in the intimate pool under the historic Banyan tree or sunbathe on one of Waikiki’s longest stretches of beach. For a unique experience, visit the Vintage 1901 wine bar in the lobby and sip cocktails while pianist David Swanson plays all your favorites.

Escape to the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, a romantic, beachfront gay-friendly haven in Waikiki. Enjoy ocean views, sunset cocktails, and unforgettable moments in paradise. Book your dream getaway now!

Located on the corner of the International marketplace, which is home to two gay bars, you couldn’t get a better location for shopping, eating, and partying. It’s only a block from the beach, so you’ve got the best of everything. Gay nightlife within a few steps makes Sheraton Princess Kaiulani the most booked gay-friendly hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The tastefully decorated white and teak rooms offer city, pool, or ocean views. We love the pool area, surrounded by palm trees; it really is an oasis in the middle of the bustling city.

If you’re having breakfast at Splash Bar, you must try the Pineapple Sausage Hash Moco; you’ll thank us later.

Halekulani Hotel has been wowing visitors for decades. Not many hotels have the advantage of being absolute beachfront, but Halekelani is. It’s built in such a way that there’s even a private stretch of beach. The rooms are spacious and all designed around its signature “seven shades of white,” highlighting Hawaii and its tropical views. Halekulani Hotel is one of the most booked luxury gay-friendly hotels in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The food and drinks are all served in locations with stunning views. Halekulani has the highest staff-guest ratio of any of the Hawaiian resorts, which means the extra attention never wanes.

Coming up to its 100th birthday, The Royal Hawaiian is an absolute beachfront luxury of the highest standard. Recognized worldwide, staying at the iconic Spanish-Moorish-designed pink resort is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many. Choose from the Historic Wing, where the rooms are decked out in traditional elegance, or the Mailani Tower, where every room has an ocean view. The Royal Hawaiian, a Luxury Collection Resort is one of the most booked gay-friendly hotels in Waikiki, Honolulu.

Laze the day away on your own private beach chaise lounge, or grab four of your besties and hire a private cabana for the day. Swim in either the guest-only Malulani Pool or the Helumoa Playground shared with the Sheraton Waikiki next door.

The Kahala Hotel and Resort is tucked away on its own private beach 2 miles east of Diamond Head. The playground of celebrities, international royalty, and presidents, this is the place to be seen.

Facilities abound here. Lounge on the pristine white sand beach, swim in the ocean-facing pool or get a massage at the Kahala Spa. The CHI fitness center has high-tech equipment and attentive personal trainers. However, a stay at the Kahala Hotel and Resort isn’t complete without feeding, swimming, and playing with the bottlenose dolphins in the lagoon.

The entire resort was revamped in 2020 and is now modern and tasteful, with a thoroughly ‘at-ease’ vibe. Room choices range from city, Diamond Head, or ocean views. Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort’s adults-only Edge Infinity Pool and beachfront location make it a top luxury gay-friendly hotel in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Spend time in the Helumoa Playground pool area shared with the Royal Hawaiian next door, or better, the adults-only edge infinity pool, the longest one in the USA. Cocktails at sunset from the pool will top off your stay perfectly. If you’ve always wanted to learn to surf, the handsome Waikiki Beach Boys are ready to give you lessons.

Posh, chic, youthful, and exclusive are the words that most spring to mind when you walk into the lobby of The Modern Honolulu. The rooms are minimalist style with lots of white and big comfy couches. We love the pool area, where you can relax on a shaded daybed and listen to live music.

The downside to this hotel for some guests is that as the hotel is near the marina, it’s over a mile away from the nearest beach. However, the Hawaii Convention Center is very close. This is convenient if you’re heading to Honolulu for Pride weekend, as many events are held there.

Another hotel located near the marina, the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort, is ideal if you want to spend the bulk of your stay at the hotel. There are so many activities here; the pool slide is so much fun. The saltwater lagoon offers paddle board yoga, aqua cycling, and the chance to swim like a merman.

We love the digital key check-in option. Download the Hilton Honors app and check in 36 hours before arrival. When you get there, go straight to the room, bypassing the front desk. Perfect if you’ve come off a long flight and aren’t feeling social.

Right next door to the Halekulani Hotel, the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort is in an ideal location right on Waikiki Beach. The hotel reopened in April 2021 with newly renovated contemporary-style rooms featuring white walls and blue floors.

We love the food and beverage options here the most. The club bar, Voyager 47, has some of the best sunset views over the ocean in all of Honolulu. A stay here wouldn’t be complete without participating in one or more of the weekly activities, like learning to hula dance!

The Outrigger Waikiki Beach Resort won the Travel Leisure World’s Best Award, and we can see why. The entire resort is dedicated to Hawaii’s most revered waterman, Duke Kahanamoku. The lobby features his rich surf history, and Duke’s Restaurant has all his favorite food and live music from Friday to Monday.

You’re surrounded by Honolulu’s best, located right on Waikiki Beach between the Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian. Every room has a private balcony; choose from city, partial, or full ocean view.

Located right next to Queens Surf Beach — the unofficial gay beach of Honolulu — is the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort and Spa. This hotel has a lot to offer besides its location. The Queensbreak Paoakalani Adults-Only Pool, for starters. It has private shaded cabanas, big enough for you and three of your besties.

The rooms were renovated in 2020 and have Diamond Head or the Pacific Ocean views. The evening BBQ dinner is coupled with Nashville singers for something a little unique. Country and Western with a beachfront vibe!

Cool, hip, and with Insta Worthy rooms, the Laylow, Autograph Collection is Honolulu’s favorite hideaway hotel. Located a few blocks from Waikiki Beach, escape back to the 1960s with this culturally stunning boutique property. It’s another pet-friendly hotel, so be sure to invite your pup or kitty.

The restaurant and bar area is aptly named The Hideout. The outdoor patio serves Modern Hapa Hawaiin cuisine, the indoor one is a greenhouse style, and the bar features artisan cocktails, craft beers, and live entertainment.
