What’s inside Hilton’s massive 36-story Waikiki tower.​

Hilton’s new tower will climb more than 350 feet above Ala Moana Boulevard. There will be 459 standard rooms and 56 suites, along with a lobby, pool, and retail space designed to seamlessly integrate guests into the already sprawling Hilton Hawaiian Village complex.​

Once it opens, the resort will top 4,000 rooms. That will make it not only the largest Hilton property anywhere, but also the largest hotel in Hawaii and one of the largest in the entire Pacific.​

​

Construction timeline and oversight.​

Hilton’s schedule calls for demolition of existing structures in late 2025, foundation work beginning in 2026, and the tower opening in 2029. Honolulu’s Department of Planning and Permitting will monitor compliance with Waikiki Special District regulations, including environmental, wind, and noise studies. Past projects in Honolulu have faced delays, and whether Hilton can stay on track remains to be seen.​

Still, the company insists the project will now move forward without significant disruption and will deliver on schedule.​

Hilton Hawaiian Village getting another tower?

Has anyone heard about potential plans to add another TS tower in the village? I read somewhere that HGVC is considering adding another tower between GW and Kalia. I've consider going to Honolulu but if another tower goes up, I may just pass on staying in the village.

they really are going to need to add parking. even with thr marina and Hale Koa at some point there just won't be enough. Cue @Tamaradarann to tell us no car is necessary on Oahu but some of us do in fact want and need one.
