If you enjoy historic hotels with lots of character, this is definitely for you. Its public areas are full of thoughtfully curated displays about it's interesting history - plus a good array of boutiques that you can browse while strolling the thoughtfully designed and decorated halls. The views from my oceanfront room over Waikiki were amazing. The manager, Rachel, was immensely helpful, genuine, and friendly. The pool area is small and there aren't as many amenities or updates as newer hotels but that's part of the charm. For that reason, I feel like Marriott should have named this property an Autograph Collection rather than a Luxery Collection hotel setting that it reckons Mr more of the former than the latter. In any case, make sure to get the Pink Pancakes from the Mai Tai bar. They are, hands down, the best pancakes I've ever tried. If you're looking to experience the sensation of a storied past, staying at least one night here will be well worth it!
