Sleek and sophisticated The hotel deftly combines contemporary minimalism and sophistication in every element. From the sculpture of broken-in-action surfboards behind the lobby desk, to the bar hidden behind a revolving bookcase, to the blue glass tiles embellishing the Sunset Pool, the vibe of the hotel is modern and sophisticated. The Modern Honolulu's progressive luxury is as refined as it is relaxed. The Spa's exhilarating treatments are developed around the purest and most exclusive products in the world—natural, organic, handcrafted and sustainable. Two stylish pools overlook the Pacific for daytime fun while for a great evening rendezvous, the vibrant Addiction nightclub and The Study lobby bar are great. The hotel is home to Morimoto Waikiki, that serves daily the culinary delights of Chef Masaharu Morimoto, known to millions as the star of Iron Chef and Iron Chef America. Inside Morimoto Waikiki dining is theatre. Chef Morimoto's vision translates to the plate in the open kitchen or at the full sushi bar. Redefining the standard for Honolulu luxury hotels, the 353 rooms and suites offer sleek minimalism with a signature white palette forming the décor and most feature a private, furnished terrace. Natural light filters in through gauzy fabric and teak louvres that slide over large-scale windows. Varied woods and terrazzo marble spa bathrooms complement the palette of whites that washes over everything from lounge-like settees and upholstered headboards on beds that are blanketed in imported Frette linens. The strikingly stylish hotel is also a stunning backdrop for weddings, bridal luncheons and rehearsal dinners. Fully equipped with sprawling indoor and picturesque outdoor spaces, a large and transformative ballroom, custom catering services and modish amenities, The Modern Honolulu has the ability to cater for an elaborate affair with up to 350 guests or an intimate ceremony for 100 or less.
