At the heart of Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk, you'll find the Grand Lanai—a tropical oasis that practically begs you to kick off your flip-flops and relax. Perched on the 4th floor, our open-air deck is more than just a pool area; it's a lush, green escape with swaying palms, cascading waterfalls, and plenty of space to unwind.
Whether you're splashing with the kids in the family-friendly pool, easing into the whirlpool spa, or sipping a signature cocktail at the Pakini Bar, the Grand Lanai is your all-day chill zone. With shaded cabanas, cozy daybeds, and island vibes in every corner, it's the perfect place to soak up that Hawaiian sunshine—or moonlight.
Here are 10 guest-favorite ways to chill out on the Grand Lanai:
1. Lounge in a Cabana
Your vacation deserves VIP treatment—reserve a shaded cabana or daybed and live your best poolside life.
2. Dip in the Pool
Take a refreshing plunge in the spacious swimming pool surrounded by tropical plants and waterfall features.
3. Sip the Cocktail of the Month
Say aloha to the Hula Girl, the signature cocktail of the month for August. It's crafted with Malibu, Jack Daniels, pineapple juice, mango puree, passion fruit puree, and strawberry puree. It's sunshine in a glass!
4. Soak in the Hot Tub
Let the warm bubbles of the whirlpool spa melt your stress away—paradise, but make it extra cozy.
5. Fuel Up with Fun Food Platters
