Ritz-Carlton Residences

The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Waikiki Beach, is an ultra-luxurious two-tower condo hotel situated right in the vibrant heart of Waikiki. Developed by Irongate, the same developer behind the Trump Tower Waikiki, this project offers a unique blend of luxury hotel amenities and condominium living, and sets the standard for luxury condo hotels in a Waikiki occupied by older buildings. As one can imagine, that means the amenities in the complex are second to none. With 3 infinity pools, hot tub, spa, fitness center with a yoga room, concierge service, media room, multiple fine-dining restaurants, the Ritz Waikiki lives up to it’s name’s reputation.

Being a condo hotel, owners of units here have the option to engage in short-term vacation rentals, similar to a hotel. However, there are restrictions on property management. Owners must either place their units in the hotel front desk pool or use a limited selection of preferred vendors.

The central location of the Ritz-Carlton Residences in Waikiki, with its proximity to Fort DeRussy Park and Luxury Row, adds to its appeal. With high-quality build standards, a range of amenities, and the assurance of 5-star Ritz-Carlton service, this luxury condo-hotel offers a lavish and comfortable living experience. However, potential investors should be mindful of the costs associated with luxury hotel management.
