Fodor's Expert Review SCP Hilo Hotel

Formerly known as the Hilo Seaside Hotel, this boutique hotel features a minimalist Zen style combined with Hawaiiana accents; it's a decided upgrade from its previous incarnation as a no-frills accommodation. Of the 128 rooms, some have private lanai, and the nicest ones overlook the koi-filled lagoon or are around the pool. A workout studio offers Peloton bikes, TRX system, weights, and yoga mats. Complimentary bikes and stand-up paddleboards are available for exploring the surrounding neighborhood, including Reeds Bay across the street. On-site, the 24/7 Provisions Market presents locally sourced, fresh consumables. Beautiful parks and bayfront attractions are within walking distance of the hotel, as are a handful of nice restaurants. The Coconut Grill restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
