The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach has elevated the standard for high-end hospitality on Oahu, gracing the iconic Waikiki shoreline with a contemporary vision of island sophistication.
This premier address, now a highlight of the Waikiki skyline, features 307 elegantly appointed residences across 38 floors, including studios, one- to three-bedroom suites, and lavish penthouses—each boasting sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific. The interiors, curated by Jon Brent Design, blend subtle luxury with modern Hawaiian influences, creating refined spaces that feel both timeless and distinctly local.
Residents and guests have access to an impressive suite of amenities, including Waikiki’s highest infinity pool perched on the eighth floor, offering breathtaking vistas and a tranquil escape from the city bustle. Wellness enthusiasts will appreciate the state-of-the-art fitness center, conceptualized in partnership with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. The Ritz-Carlton Spa, renowned for its bespoke therapies inspired by global wellness traditions, continues to receive accolades for its holistic approach to relaxation and rejuvenation.
Culinary experiences at the Residences are equally distinguished. BLT Market, helmed by Executive Chef Johan Svensson, presents a rotating menu of contemporary American dishes crafted from the freshest local produce, highlighting the rich agricultural heritage of Hawaii. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a vibrant, market-inspired setting that celebrates seasonality and sustainability.
Gourmet aficionados can explore the acclaimed Dean & DeLuca, which introduced its first Hawaii outpost at the property, offering a curated selection of global delicacies and artisanal products. Additionally, Sushi Sho, under the guidance of legendary Tokyo chef Keiji Nakazawa, delivers an extraordinary omakase experience—its debut outside Japan has become a culinary pilgrimage for sushi connoisseurs.
George D. Szigeti, former President and CEO of Hawaii Tourism Authority, remarked at the launch: "With The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, Kuhio Avenue welcomes an era of refined luxury, further enhancing Waikiki’s appeal for international travelers. The arrival of Ritz-Carlton not only raises the bar for accommodations but also signifies the ongoing transformation of Waikiki into a global destination for discerning guests.
