Steps from Waikiki Beach, the Red Ginger

Location is everything!

The Red Ginger is a compact studio apartment with its own private balcony providing a city view of Waikiki. With historic Waikiki Beach is just outside the hotel lobby, the Red Ginger makes a perfect home base for exploring Honolulu and the rest of Oahu.

An expansive roof deck on top of the hotel, just one floor above the studio, provides a bird's eye view of Diamond Head. There are lounge chairs for sunbathing and tables for alfresco dining. No one else in Waikiki has a better view of the sun setting into the Pacific. Kapiolani Park is just across the street and offers the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, the Royal Hawaiian Bandstand, tennis courts, soccer fields, archery ranges, weekend art shows and the city's Sunset on the Beach free concerts and movies - all this in its 500 green acres.

One of the main reasons for coming to Hawaii is of course the sun and sand. Surfing, stand up board paddling, outrigger canoeing, swimming and simply lounging on the beach are all just a few steps from the Red Ginger.

Hawaii is the crossroads of the Pacific and its culinary offerings reflect that abundantly, so while the Red Ginger Suite has a kitchen and microwave, you are a short walk away from countless cafes and restaurants catering to every taste and price range. Similarly, if you can get yourself out of the water and away from the beach there is a lot of shopping to be done in Waikiki, and the many other shopping venues just a short drive away.

The Red Ginger is located at the end of Waikiki. Kapahulu Avenue provides easy access to the freeway, and makes getting in and out of the area very easy because you avoid all the traffic in the heart of Waikiki. This is perfect for when you decide to explore the rest that Oahu has to offer.

Perfect stay.

I grew up in Kapahulu and this was the perfect place for my partner and I to stay. It was walking distance to my family home and a great location for Waikiki restaurants and bars. Best of both worlds! Will definitely rent to stay again!

For the price this place fit our needs just right. I would stay again. The property is dated, but it is kept up very well. I liked that we were literally steps from the beach. Also the Honolulu Zoo is across the street.

Older property but very clean. Bed very comfortable. 2 min from beach and a beautiful park. The 10th floor offer the most spectacular view of diamond head and gorgeous sun sets. My only disappointment is the pool. The sun only it’s it a couple hours a day and is open to a restaurant.

The location and view is awesome, the building is quiet, the front desk is helpful with basic needs and directions. The kitchenette is adequate. Unfortunately, we had a cement wall on deck so can’t see anything sitting down. The broom needs replacing if you want floors kept clean, very worn out.

Excellent studio in quieter are of Waikiki

Hidden little gem on the south side of Waikiki. Very clean, everything as listed. Kevin made check-in so easy. The sun deck access on the 10th floor has spectacular views of Diamond Head and any bands playing on Kuhio Beach (I got to see J Boog playing from here, so cool!). 2 minutes to the beach and shopping. Loved it, will plan on staying again in the future!
