The Equus

The Equus A charming boutique hotel tucked away in Waikiki's upper west side just steps from Ala Moana Center and the Hawaii Convention Center.

Family-owned with a focus on sustainability. Home of the Paniolo Lanai Bar & Cafe. Equus Hotel is a charming boutique hotel located on Waikīkī’s “Upper West Side” where you will find an abundance of restaurants, walking distance access to one of the world’s largest shopping malls, a quick stroll to the beach and gorgeous sunset views. This hotel is Waikīkī’s only “North Shore connection,” as the o

wnership company also owns and manages a magnificent 100-acre stretch of completely unspoiled beachfront property along O‘ahu’s North Shore. This is the home of the Hawai‘i Polo Club where polo matches, polo lessons and spectacular trail rides become available to hotel guests. Whether renting your own car throughout your stay or renting the Green Car available from the hotel’s lobby by the hour, you can make the beautiful drive to the hotel’s sister property on the North Shore for a day of riding, picnicking, swimming or beachcombing. The hotel’s ownership by a family that is rooted in the elegant and exciting sport of polo makes it a one-of-a kind hotel where every guest checking in during polo season receives two complimentary admission tickets to the polo matches where “the sport of kings” will offer an unforgettable experience.
