The Moana Hotel put Hawaiian hospitality on the map for travelers in 1901. Today known as the Moana Surfrider–A Westin Resort & Spa, the First Lady of Waikiki combines a taste for Victorian-era style with the latest in Westin hospitality.
While her oceanfront windows gaze over the timeless surf breaks across a prime stretch of Waikiki Beach, the 794 rooms and suites concentrate on contemporary comforts such as Westin Heavenly Beds and flat-screen TVs. In 2010, Waikiki's only oceanfront spa, the Moana Lani Spa, claimed distinction on Spas of America's list of Top 50 Spas.
Groups can take part in legendary afternoon tea, world-class dining at the Beachhouse at the Moana, and evening entertainment and cocktails beneath the Beach Bar's famous 110-year-old banyan tree. Impromptu meetings by the pool or under the banyan, receptions at the rooftop garden, barbecues for up to 75 guests on the beach, and banquets for up to 200 on the lawn share the same Pacific breezes—and views all the way to Diamond Head.
Groups with business on the agenda convene in a 10,782-square-foot conference center comprised of Ballroom, Parlor, and Board Room. For larger affairs, the Royal Hawaiian and Sheraton Waikiki Hotel & Resort—sister hotels just up the beach—expand the meeting and entertainment possibilities to almost infinite proportions.
