Gay Hotel Honolulu Hawaii

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!

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.

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.

Located two blocks from Waikiki Beach, a stay at the Pacific Monarch is like you’re in a fancy apartment with maid service rather than in a hotel. The rooms are classic Hawaiian style, complete with wooden furniture.

The main attraction, of course, is the incredible rooftop pool that overlooks all of Waikiki right to the ocean.

Popular Japanese restaurant Musubi Café Iyasume is located on the ground floor. Its specialties are musubi (rice balls), poke bowls, and bento boxes.

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.

Holiday Inn Express hotels always offer a lot for a little. The Holiday Inn Express Waikiki is tucked away, three blocks from Waikiki, so you’re away from the hustle and bustle but within walking distance when you want to head out.

The 5th-floor Skydeck is the place to hang out; the pool has private cabanas, and you can play a round of golf or ping pong or workout at the gym.

The modern designed rooms face either the city, the mountains, or the Pacific Ocean. Complimentary breakfast is available at the Express Start Breakfast Bar from 6.30 am to 9.30 am.

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!

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.

Set a block back from Waikiki Beach, the OHANA Waikiki East by Outrigger is located conveniently across the road from the International marketplace, where you’ll find two of Honolulu’s gay bars and more just down the road.
The Rooms have city, partial, or total ocean views, and unlike the standard white and blue of most other hotels in Waikiki, they’re decorated in softer shades, and some have kitchenettes.

Snap some pics of the new pool area and post them on Instagram; your friends will be green with envy. If you need some exercise, the fitness center is open from 6 am to 10 pm.

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.
