Bottom Line

The 125-room Shoreline Hotel Waikiki is an upper-mid-range property located two blocks away from Kalakaua Avenue and less than a five-minute walk from Waikiki Beach. With retro furniture and bright, colorful artwork the hotel has a cute, 70s-inspired look and feel. There aren’t a lot of extras (a small rooftop pool and bright lobby with free coffee), but the hotel does provide an excellent location for an affordable price. Coconut Waikiki is a nearby alternative that is less expensive, but farther from the beach.

Retro-inspired hotel

The Shoreline Hotel Waikiki has an open, bright lobby with tall windows and white shutters along with retro-inspired orange couches and potted trees. There’s colorful artwork, huge, modern overhead lights and a quaint chalkboard announcing the day’s surf report, weather forecast, guests’ special occasions, and Hawaiian word of the day. The open business center is backed by huge mirrors reflecting light. The atmosphere throughout is creative and relaxed.
