How do you say luxury in Hawaiian? Mae e ho'ohiwahiwa ai ka noho 'na. But while that may be a mouthful, finding a Hawaiian example of luxury is simple -- just look to The Royal Hawaiian Resort. Located on Waikiki Beach, Starwood's 529-room "Pink Palace of the Pacific" takes its cues from its luscious natural surroundings, as well as the history and culture of the island. Marvel at the property's 1920s Moorish architecture, lounge in a beachfront cabana, sip a tropical cocktail at its oceanside Mai Tai Bar, or try an alfresco massage in the garden, courtesy of the on-site Abhasa Spa. And don't miss 'Ah 'Aina, the Royal Hawaiian's weekly dinner and show featuring local cuisine along with dancers and musicians telling the story of Waikiki. Aloha, indeed!
