An oceanfront resort, the Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel is a classic deluxe property situated on the Ala Wai Yacht Marina at the edge of Waikiki on the south shore of Oahu. This hotel is known worldwide as the location where the Hawaii Five-O television series filmed the famous opening shot with Jack Lord as Steve McGarrett standing on the penthouse balcony. The Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel offers dining and lounge facilities, fitness room, outdoor swimming pools and tennis with Internet access in all rooms. The Ala Moana Shopping Center and Hawaii Convention Center are both within walking distance and downtown Honolulu is ten minutes away. A hotel walkway leads directly from the lobby to Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon, where Waikiki Beach begins. The Renaissance Ilikai Waikiki Hotel has just completed a twenty-seven million dollar renovation. The interior of Canoes Restaurant has been redesigned with a contemporary Hawaiian accent and the main lobby has been remodeled to offer an elegant open-air tropical atmosphere and porte cochere. Guests can enjoy relaxing ocean views and spectacular sunsets from the enlarged main pool area with its new pool bar and whirlpool.
