A fresh take on Waikiki.
About Us
Wayfinder Waikiki is one of three Wayfinder Hotels created by Dovetail + Co, a boutique collective of design-obsessed hotel nerds. Our mission is to create beautiful experiences one detail at a time. We love what we do and sincerely—earnestly—hope you will too. Conde Nast Traveler readers named Wayfinder Waikiki one of the Top 10 Hotels in Hawaii in the Readers’ Choice Awards. And we couldn’t be more proud.
Wayfinder Waikiki, steps from the birthplace of modern surfing on Waikiki Beach, is an immersive space rooted in the spirit of Aloha and Oahu’s rich history. With locals at the helm, our hidden oasis is a fresh take on a Hawaii hotel, one steeped in personal stories and connections. Let us be your guide to the local side of Waikiki, a vibrant neighborhood that’s more than just a destination—it’s a community.
In this ever-evolving multicultural hub, we partner with talented people who care—seriously care—about their craft and community. Honolulu based interior design studio The Vanguard Theory created our tropical brutalist dreamscape. Kailua based brand studio Welcome Stranger conjured our playful visual identity. Honolulu’s own Foodland family fuel our on-site Redfish poke restaurant, B-Side Coffee Bar, and Lost + Found poolside speakeasy. Works by Hawaii artists adorn our walls. And our neighborhood friends offer special perks, like discounts on surf lessons and rentals from Moniz Family Surf—a multi-generational family company with pro surfers among their ranks. Come along on our monthly Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi Farm Volunteer Experience or learn about Hawaii’s cultural history and unique natural environment at the Bishop Museum, where we donate $1 of each night’s stay.
When you’re back from exploring, hang with us poolside in our tropical hideaway: swim in our 72-foot saltwater pool, enjoy a cocktail at Lost + Found, or dip in the hot tub. Go deeper with daily workouts and stretching classes, or pop in for a craft night or DJ set with Hawaii’s own Aloha Got Soul record label. We're always looking for ways to bring the neighborhood to you.
Melding dreamy digs with home-grown talent and passionate partners, Wayfinder Waikiki is your home base for an inspired getaway. With large rooms, stacked amenities, and a genuinely hospitable team, we’re here fill your stay with sunshine.
