I had the most wonderful time at Hotel Renew. Not only is the Hotel a 1/2 block from the beach, but the service I received from the staff was fantastic. When I got there after a 12 hour flight, The General Manager Terry Dowsett came out and greeted me personally and had refreshments and drinks waiting for me in my... more

My husband and I had a one night layover in Honolulu, so we decided to splurge on the hotel for the night. After reading excellent reviews and browsing the property's website, we decided to book a deluxe oceanview room at the Hotel Renew in Waikiki. I hate to say it, but the experience was somewhat disappointing. The lobby is small,... more

This is the only hotel to stay in if you come to Waikiki to have an amazing time. It is situated literally 10 paces from the beach, shops, bars, eateries. We stayed for 6 days and it was amazing. The hotel was perfectly clean at all times, stylish, and very comfy. Leonor and the staff are fantastic, always smiling, nothing... more

My wife and I recently stayed at the Hotel Renew for part of our honeymoon. The lobby and the room itself were very clean and trendy and the hotel employees were very helpful and very nice. The bed was very comfortable and the showers worked great. We had no complaints at all about the rooms other than they were a... more

I recently stayed at the Hotel Renew for 8 days and had a wonderful time while staying there. The entire staff was very friendly, accommodating, and eager to make my stay an enjoyable one. We were all on a first name basis with each other and when I would come home from a day of work or site-seeing, it felt... more

Hotel Renew is a boutique hotel located near Kapiolani Park and Kuhio Beach at the far end of the Waikiki strip (Kalakaua Ave) towards Diamond Head. It could be described as a “designer’s hotel” with lots of surprising and unusual design ideas included in both the hotel and guest room. Perhaps the most unusual and striking feature is a projector... more

I can't say enough about how amazing Hotel Renew was. From the moment my wife and I arrived there for our honeymoon, we were treated impeccably. Leonor and her staff were beyond compare. The little touches that each of them provided, from fresh flowers in our room to hand made/home made leis, we felt like we were a part of... more

I stayed there in july of 2008 for 7 days. I arrived at the hotel to find a friendly valet at the door who took care of my rental car ( $20 per day). I arrived into a nice reception area, clean and modern looking and checked in promptly ( to my premier ocean view room) with helping staff. Thats... more

This was an incredibly satisfying place to stay. The staff was stunningly helpful with absolutely everything. They called us by name from the first time we walked in. The room, a City View King, was huge - and made such a great use of space...what with the space under the bed to store luggage, and the bench and drawers in... more

This hotel has a nice location, one block from the beach and only 50 meters from Resortquest at the south end of Waikiki. It's a small boutique hotel with a very nice reception. The people working there are extremely service minded. We felt welcome the second we entered the hotel. The hotel serves complimentary continental breakfass. The corridors leading to... more
