The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki has become the first Tapestry Collection by Hilton property in Hawaii, US, marking a significant addition to Hilton’s portfolio.
Operated by real estate investment and hospitality management company Highgate, the hotel offers views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head.
The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki general manager Brandon Kaya said: “We’re thrilled to be the first property in Hawaii to join Tapestry Collection by Hilton, a brand that reflects our dedication to personalised hospitality rooted in a strong sense of place.
“Our team is passionate about creating meaningful connections to local culture. It’s not just about where you stay—it’s about how you experience Waikiki, and we’re proud to share the spirit of the island with our guests.”
The property’s recent renovation embraces a mid-century design that celebrates Waikiki’s modern spirit and the hotel’s origins from the 1960s.
The 368-room hotel provides a variety of accommodations, including two-bedroom suites and Waikiki’s exclusive lofted bunk-bed rooms, catering to families and groups.
