Ka La’i Waikiki Beach, LXR Hotels & Resorts (formerly Trump International Hotel Waikiki) offers visitors to Oʻahu an upscale, service-driven stay in a prime Waikīkī location. Positioned beside Fort DeRussy Beach Park and just steps from Waikīkī Beach and the Royal Hawaiian Center, the property is ideal for travelers seeking easy access to shopping, dining and the shore.

The hotel’s accommodations include standard rooms, suites and Signature Suites, each styled with contemporary finishes, floor-to-ceiling windows and private lanais. Guests can choose ocean, partial ocean or city views. Many rooms feature fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, iPod docking stations and Italian marble bathrooms, creating a comfortable, home-like atmosphere for short stays or longer visits.

Shopping and essentials are convenient with an ABC store nearby, while high-end retail is within walking distance. The Royal Hawaiian Center and Luxury Row are roughly a five-minute walk, and the International Market Place is about ten minutes on foot, placing major retail and dining options within easy reach.

Dining at the hotel includes two on-site restaurants and an in-room dining menu. Guests can reserve the in-house chef for private, suite-side meal preparation. For breakfast, In-Yo Café serves popular items such as the house breakfast burrito and eggs Benedict. In the evening, Waiʻolu Ocean Cuisine specializes in sushi and seafood, offering views that pair well with Waikīkī sunsets.

Leisure facilities are designed for relaxation and recreation. The property’s expansive lanais and a sixth-floor infinity pool provide space to soak up sun and ocean views. A jacuzzi and spa services are available for pampering, and a modern fitness center allows guests to maintain their routines. The open-air lobby is a pleasant spot for reading or enjoying cocktails, and the hotel’s terrace serves as a distinctive venue for weddings and events.

Families will find child-friendly amenities that add to the hotel’s appeal. A selection of books, DVDs and music is provided for younger guests, and a kids’ breakfast buffet caters to families. For extra fun, children can experience an in-suite tent “camping” option for an additional fee, enhancing the family vacation experience.

Practical amenities include pet-friendly rooms, on-site EV charging and secured parking (with associated nightly fees). A nightly resort fee covers certain property benefits, and the hotel’s location means many Waikīkī attractions are within easy walking distance, making it a convenient base for exploring Oʻahu.
