THE LAST OF THE VINTAGE WALK-UP HOTELS IN WAIKIKI
A Hotel From A Golden, Bygone Era
We’re taking you back to a golden bygone era cloaked in hazy memories. Here, at the last of the vintage walk-up hotels, you can connect with your own visions of Hawaii right in the middle of Waikiki. So, come and tap back into the Kuhio Avenue “Bamboo Bar” lounge culture of the early 70s. Kick back with swaying palms, mai tais around the pool, and renovated rooms with lanais and cool island colors. Rinse your sandy feet off in our outdoor shower. As you fall into the rhythm of the island you’ll feel the tropical fever that captivated the world. The newly renovated White Sands Hotel joins understated elegance with vibrant Hawaiian style, so you can experience the essence of old Waikiki without sacrificing the comfort and convenience of modern times.
