PB hotel design editorial

Two glass-clad towers rising above the Ala Moana end of Waikiki, set back from the beach behind a canopy of palms and low-rise retail, distinguish The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach from the older resort corridor properties that define this stretch of O'ahu. Completed in two phases — the first tower in 2016, the second in 2018 — the development was designed by Arquitectonica, the Miami-based firm whose work across high-density resort markets carries a consistent preference for floor-to-ceiling glazing and rectilinear massing that maximizes ocean views from every elevation. At 350 metres above sea level across its upper floors, the property holds the distinction of being Hawaii's tallest building, a fact the curtain-wall facade makes no effort to conceal. Interiors calibrate that vertical ambition with a quieter material language — wide-plank hardwood floors, sage-green upholstered headboards, walnut joinery framing sliding room dividers, and abstract botanical artwork recalling mid-century Hawaiian print culture. The pool deck, visible in the images, deploys teak boardwalks threading between volcanic basalt boulders and broad blue pools, a gesture toward the natural landscape that softens the tower's corporate geometry. On the outdoor terrace level, curved concrete canopies shelter dining chairs in pale linen upholstery and brushed brass frames, tropical plantings breaking the sight lines between interior and sky. The overall effect across public and private spaces favors restraint over the maximalist resort vocabulary that Waikiki has long defaulted to.

"This is an outstanding hotel with excellent service. We stayed just 2 nights before moving on to another island. Our room was quite large with a washer and dryer which was nice as we were on a long trip. The food at breakfast and dinner was exceptional but the service from the valet to the front desk to the pool and the restaurant was absolutely perfect."

"Went here past November and I felt like I got the true Ritz Carlton experience from arrival to checkout. The staff was tremendous, room was amazing, and the distance to the beach is just a short walk away. With so many stores nearby, the walk didn't feel long at all. Looking forward to returning the next time I find myself in Waikiki."

"We had to check into this hotel for 20 days because we were “in between homes” and they made us feel relaxed and welcomed during a difficult transition. They really went out of their way to help us out. The suites are spacious and ours had two full bathes. Our lanai was huge and faced the ocean and the Friday night fireworks. There are two pools one for the family and one for adults only. We used it as much as we could. The location is great too. Very walkable to restaurants and shopping. There was a great little market underneath too that allowed us to get cheap delicious dinners and ingredients to cook in our little kitchen. The hotel even provided us with a rice cooker upon request. We really liked that they had an in-unit washer dryer too. Really helped us during our stay. We enjoyed talking to all of the folks that worked there. Even the pianist at the restaurant chatted us up. He was funny and kind. My only critique is that the restaurants on site and mandatory valet parking is a bit insanely expensive. After 20 days it really got expensive to park 2 cars. Inside the room, we felt they could have offered more options on the TV besides Netflix but then again it is fine for a short stay. The shower was the one thing I kind of didn’t understand. It was one of those wet rooms and the shower grout kind of grossed me out at times but they always came and cleaned as much as we requested. They are also pet friendly so we really really appreciated it. Special thanks to Noe and Tyler. We love you guys and will definitely recommend you to anyone that is looking for a hotel in Waikiki."
