NEW! NEW!! NEW!!! Renovation has been completed in this privately-owned and managed studio in the Royal Garden at Waikiki. Why stay in a "budget" hotel when you can call this elegantly-remodeled studio with fabulous view your "home" in Waikiki. Suitable for a brief vacation or a stay of several months, this unit has been designed for your comfort. On the 17th floor of the Royal Garden at Waikiki, you will have an open, airy and serene view of the Ala Wai canal, mountains and even a bit of ocean. And, you won't see any neighbors from your private 17 ft long lanai. Newly-renovated kitchen area perfect for breakfast and post-beach snacks as well as full dinners if you choose. Having the ability to "eat home" sometimes will make your vacation truly affordable--much more so than in a hotel. While not part of the hotel, you may enjoy many of the hotel amenities including, sumptuous lobby, 24-hour manned security, swimming pool, fitness center, laundry rooms and the warm "aloha" of a very friendly staff. You will feel at home from the moment you arrive. The Royal Garden is a "boutique hotel" on a quiet street--Ft DeRussy side of Waikiki. The hotel portion, owned by Wyndam Vacation Resorts, is now undergoing substantial upgrading and renovation. BUT--this privately-owned unit has already been totally redone!
Walk to the beach, restaurants, shops, major hotels and all the excitement of Waikiki without the crowds. Bus nearby to downtown, Convention Center, Ala Moana Shopping center, etc. No need for a car but parking is available in the hotel's garage for extra fee. The hotel's rooms are on the lower floors while the privately owned units, such as this one, are larger and on higher floors with lovely views. This spotless studio has been FULLY renovated with porcelain tile floors throughout, cherry wood cabinets, an expanded kitchen area and all new furniture. Suitable for 1 or 2 people, the unit has a queen bed, comfortable leather sofa (with 2 ottomans for resting after a full day of fun) and a "bistro" table and chairs. The newly-designed kitchen area has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, 2-burner portable cooktop, coffee maker and rice cooker. Linens, dishes, utensils and cookware provided. The 17 ft long lanai overlooks the Ala Wai canal--perfect for watching canoe races. Some ocean view too! High floor with wonderful breezes but also has A/C if you prefer. Cable TV, telephone (local calls only) and Wi-Fi in unit included. Sorry, no pets and absolutely no smoking in unit. Minimum age is 25 for primary guest.
Monthly rentals also available.
Here's what some of this year's guests have had to say:
*****"My wife and I really enjoyed our time in Waikiki. The apartment was in an ideal location for us. We are walkers and bus users. Royal Garden was an easy walk to Ala Moana, Sam’s Club/Walmart and Don Qujiote for groceries. Just a hop across Ft DeRussy to the beaches and the commercial area of Waikiki. The bus stops were almost out the front door. From the lanai, we enjoyed watching the canoes and rowers on the canal. The New Year’s Eve fireworks were incredible. The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. Nice peek a boo view of the ocean, skylines of downtown and the clouds over the mountain tops. Don’t think we could have been in a better location. Had a pair of house finches visiting us everyday. Fun watching them. The apartment itself was just right, the bed was comfortable. Slept well every night - of course that could have had something to do with all the walking we did. Lastly, but very important, the price was very fair."
*****"This is a great place to stay. Not only is it newly remodeled but it's very clean, quiet and comfortable with everything you need for a vacation to the Waikiki area. The beach is a 8 minute walk, and all of the major shopping is within 5 minutes. There's an ABC store just down the street. The view is a great city view where you can watch the crew teams on the canal during the day and the amazing lights of Honolulu at night. Plus you do have a break between buildings where you actually get a good view of the Ocean. I would definitely stay here again!"

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2005
Aloha, we are Margaret and John Sheehan, the owners of this darling studio. We have been residents of Hawaii for about 11 years having spent much of our lives on the East Coast (NYC). We have been involved in Hawaii real estate (as investors and sales agents) for almost 20 years and appreciate the never-ending beauties of our adopted state.
Why the Owner Chose Royal Garden at Waikiki
We bought this condo unit in 2005 when the then hotel owner offered a few for sale. [The hotel portion has since been sold to Wyndam Resorts.] We chose this unit because it is an end unit with private lanai and wonderful view. We have rented it--sometimes short-term and sometimes long-term continuously since that time. This October, we helped our tenant find another home and completely renovated the unit. Lots of hard work but well worth it as the inside now matches the fabulous location. We are now ready to welcome new guests who we are sure will enjoy the comfortable surroundings.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
If you are planning a trip to Waikiki, you will find a stay in this studio to be convenient, comfortable and a great bargain. First, be assured that you are right in Waikiki and can walk to all. A short (5 to 10 minutes) stroll through Ft. DeRussy park will bring you to a particularly lovely and generally uncrowded portion of the Waikiki beaches. In the evening, take a walk on famed Kalakaua Ave to see the musical performances at the Royal Hawaiian shopping center, buy souvenirs in the International Market Place, have drinks at the Mai Tai bar or Duke's--both practically on the sand!--and browse countless shops. Then, come "home" to the peace and quiet of the Royal Garden at Waikiki. We bought this unit knowing it offered the "best of both worlds"--excitement and convenience without noise and crowds. You may have read that some of the hotel rooms are in need of a "makeover" and we understand that Wyndam, the hotel owner, is planning such soon. Our unit has been completed redone and is sparklingly clean and outfitted for a comfortable stay. The expanded kitchen area means that you can save $$$ by having some of your meals and snacks "at home" while putting your feet up. There are so many restaurants of virtually ALL price categories within walking distance that we hope you will enjoy but it is still nice to have the luxury of eating in comfort and privacy some of the time. In addition, the 17 ft long lanai and wonderful view (day or night) will give you an open and airy feel during those times you choose to simply relax.
