Hotel Information: After registering in the tiled, open-air lobby with louvered windows, teak furniture, palm trees, and an orchid display, guests settle in studios that are part of a largely residential complex. A hallway leads to a fast-food restaurant. In this casual ambience, families, couples, and active travelers find privacy and friendliness.

Amenity highlights: On the tenth floor of the Castle Waikiki Grand Hotel, a rooftop sundeck with lounge chairs offers splendid views of Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and Honolulu, while the second floor is home to a gay bar that has complimentary wireless Internet access and a high-speed Internet computer (surcharge). The complex is close to the shops and restaurants of Waikiki as well as Kapiolani Park with its zoo and jogging paths; the calm ocean waters of Kuhio beach are one block away.

Insider tip: Across the street, the Honolulu Zoo at Kapiolani Park houses several live Mynah birds. One of them converses with visitors in accurate human speech.
