At the Moana Surfrider, a Westin Resort & Spa, guests feel a sense of comfort and relaxation amid the white sands and azure waters of world-renowned Waikiki Beach. Known as the “First Lady of Waikiki,” this Beaux-Arts-style resort—with its gleaming white façade, grand columns, and a distinctive porte-cochère—first opened its legendary doors on March 11, 1901 and featured the best modern conveniences of the time: telephones, private baths, and the first electric powered elevator in the territory. Today, this landmark property’s Colonial-style architecture blends effortlessly with contemporary furnishings and fixtures, welcoming guests to a place of refined elegance and luxury, where guests leave feeling better than when they arrived.
