HONOLULU — Aqua-Aston Hospitality has announced that The Residences at Waikiki Beach Tower, located on Waikiki’s iconic Kalakaua Avenue, is now open following an extensive multi-million-dollar transformation.

Previously known as Aston Waikiki Beach Tower, the oceanfront resort is just steps from Waikiki Beach. In addition to its sought-after location, The Residences offers guests a luxe, private-living experience with only four residences per floor.

Each two-bedroom, two-bathroom residence comes equipped with separate living and dining areas, a full kitchen, and a balcony with 180-degree beach views. A remodel of each residence was completed that included new flooring throughout, island-living furniture, chef-inspired kitchens, and four- and five-piece, spa-like master bathrooms.

Millions were also invested in the public spaces, including an open-air recreation deck overlooking the beach from the fourth floor, complete with a new fitness centre, motion studio, and shower facilities. There’s also a new sunset deck with fire pits, a jet spa and children’s pool, a new kitchen facility with an expanded dining area and barbeque grills, and a new air-conditioned Aloha Lounge, complete with ample seating, a supersized flatscreen television, and a Hawaii-themed book collection.

In addition to the facility improvements, guests can also look forward to new amenities like arrangements for luxury airport transfers, in-room spa services, family services (babysitting referrals and kid-friendly amenities) and special guest experiences like hula and ukulele lessons.

Upon opening, The Residences at Waikiki Beach Tower will join the ranks of Aqua-Aston Hospitality’s Instinct Collection brand. For more information, visit TheResidencesAtWaikikiBeach.com.
