Wayfinder Waikiki, Hawaii
Like its sibling property in Newport, Rhode Island (which shuttered following a 2022 fire), the Wayfinder Waikiki is grounded in local culture. The Brutalist structure it calls home is brightened with native flora and features 228 guestrooms that reference the surrounding land, sky, and water through a soothing color palette, natural fiber furniture, works from Hawaiian artisans, and geometric and floral patterns. Speakeasy and pool bar Lost + Found also keeps the tropical vibes going.
