Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel Review
This unusual 14-story circular hotel—built to resemble a Chinese lantern—is a Waikiki landmark, though the rooms are small, with tiny bathrooms with showers only. A charming interior design scheme brings the Pacific inside, beginning at check-in beneath a seascape mural in the open-air lobby. The elevators are painted a bright sea blue-green, and hallway floors are textured to mimic the sandy beach, complete with appliquéd seashells and sea creatures dotting the circular walkways. Though small, rooms utilize every bit of space well; hence the flat-screen TVs. Not that you'll be in your room: Waikiki Beach is right down the front stairs and across the street. The überpopular Eggs 'N Things recently opened a second restaurant in the hotel's lobby. Honeymooners, snowbirds, and old-timers love this little hotel with a front-desk staff that takes the time to get to know you.
