Description:
This hotel is prized for its excellent location and more moderate rates (for a Sheraton). Portraits of this hotel's eponym, Princess Kaiulani, heir to the throne who died in 1899 at the age of 24, fill the large open-air lobby. The regal, youthful face looks out on the site that was once her royal estate. A huge swimming pool sits behind a row of restaurants and shops facing Kalakaua Ave. The lobby connects the three buildings of the Princess Kaiulani: the 11-story original hotel that opened in 1955, the 11-story Kaiulani Wing, and the 29-story Ainahau Tower -- the latter two opened in 1960. The rooms, which are perfectly fine if unremarkable, have double-insulated doors with added soundproofing. (We wish every hotel in noisy Waikiki had this feature. You can't hear the blaring sirens or the sound of garbage cans being emptied at 3am.) The hotel's dinner and cocktail show "Creation -- A Polynesian Odyssey" is a fun, but touristy, musical-theatrical excursion through the South Pacific. I wouldn't pay the rack rates, but it's often possible to get a good package deal on the Web.

Great Location but not so great lodging
