“We’re thrilled to be the first property in Hawaii to join Tapestry Collection by Hilton, a brand that reflects our dedication to personalized hospitality rooted in a strong sense of place,” said Brandon Kaya, GM, The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki. “Our team is passionate about creating meaningful connections to local culture. It’s not just about where you stay—it’s about how you experience Waikiki, and we’re proud to share the spirit of the island with our guests.”
The hotel’s newly renovated, mid-century design celebrates the modern spirit of Waikiki with subtle nods to the property’s founding origins dating back to the 1960s. The 368-room hotel offers a range of accommodations—from two-bedroom suites to Waikiki’s only lofted bunk-bed rooms—designed with families and groups in mind. Interiors feature a tropical-inspired palette reflecting Oahu’s natural beauty, with thoughtful touches that immerse guests in the colors, textures and relaxed rhythm of island life. Lanais, lounge areas and private retreats elevate the experience, while a custom lava rock wall in the lobby pays tribute to Hawaii’s volcanic landscape. The exterior preserves the hotel’s iconic heritage.
