Espacio the Jewel of Waikiki

This was one of the best hotel experiences ever. We have stayed at some high end places and this will be on our Mt Rushmore of hotels. You are attacked with an onslaught of service from the moment you arrive. (They know and are waiting for you to drive up). We had a family of four and everyone was treated amazingly. They took note of our allergies and custom made food for our kids. They have a pool and hot tub on the top floor that you can reserve for 90 minutes each day (all to yourself). Location is right across the street from Waikiki beach. They provide towels, umbrellas and chairs. Each room is a full floor suite. You have your own elevator, your own hot tub and sauna. Everybody gets a robe and slippers. Beach bag and cooler. Fantastic shower and all Toto bidets. Turn down service with snacks and waters. They really anticipate your every move. If anyone else was there we wouldn’t know. It really feels likes a one on one experience. Food was excellent and restaurant very intimate. Truly made to order. We can’t say enough. Everyone should try this once. Easily the best hotel in Waikiki. Probably the island.

I don’t usually write reviews, but the service and experience at Espacio were so exceptional that I felt compelled to share. For context, I've stayed in suites at Halekulani, Prince Waikiki, and the Ritz, but Espacio truly stood out. Every staff member we encountered was warm and welcoming. The suite's den was perfect for meetings—private, quiet, and comfortable—while the amenities allowed us to take relaxing breaks without leaving our space. The privacy throughout our stay was amazing, making it easy to unwind and focus. Everything from the entryway to the lobby, concierge service, and even the staff uniforms was flawless. A big thank you to the concierge for letting us know about the Waikiki event and ensuring we had full access to transportation, despite road closures. We were fortunate to have a view directly above the stage, enjoying the concert from the privacy of our balcony jacuzzi. It was an unforgettable experience, and we’ll definitely be back!

This was by and far the best hotel my family and I have every stayed in including The RItz-Carlton, Fairmont, Steingenberger in Brussels and just about every Disney resort (e.g. Aulani) available. We were looking for something that could accommodate 2 adults and 4 mid-younger kids (ages 10-16) and this place was exemplary. The suite was spacious and luxurious and the best part was that both the adults and the kids enjoyed the space and service equally well. Usually, when we travel we have to always choose either accommodation level (e.g. nicer 5 star rooms, which almost always is a hotel/small suite but never a larger 2+ bdrm suite) or ammenities (e.g. resort like aulani) - if we stayed at the Ritz then that would be more for adults and the kids wouldn't enjoy as much and when we stay at resorts (e.g. Disney, Marriott, Westin, etc) then that is more for kids and the adults don't enjoy themselves as much. At Espacio, both kids and adults were equally satisfied and it lead to a ver memorable experience. The service was also above anything we have every experienced, with an attention to detail that was amazing. The fridge was stocked with bottled water and cans of pop/juice and replenished daily, there were beach/pool "toys" available for guest including floaty's and body board. Beach chairs and umbrellas were available to be brought to the beach, which is literally across the street. A few minor negatives: parking is not on-site but there is a valet who will bring the car up front but it takes 10min which means some planning is needed. There is no gym on-site so you need to walk around the corner to another hotel (about 3min walk) to use a gym, which is included. Also, the hotel is on the main road of Waikiki so at night there are loud cars/motorcycles that can be heard inside the master bedroom but the noise is usually gone by about 10pm. The master bedroom does not have blackout blinds so those who want to sleep in may be awoken by sun coming into the master bedroom. Overall, it was a very memorable experience for my family - as much with the kids as it was with the adults. I would definitely stay here again. It is pricey but it was well worth the cost for my family.
