Design flare

Aside from homey rooms with top-notch showers, mattresses, and linens, a key theme throughout the hotel is sophistication. White and beige tones form a color palette across the building, while artistic touches in communal spaces seamlessly blend classical and contemporary styles.

Attention to detail stands out as a trademark of the establishment. Ample sarongs for guests in each room and pineapple cookies from local bakers add simple but soulful touches, making each stay more enjoyable.

Aloha spirit is evident in bounties at The Modern Honolulu. Whether it was reception staff or housekeeping, there were open smiles and kind helpfulness when it came to asking about local sights or other practical activities.

It is impressive to see how much time and resources a hotel invests into Hawaiian culture—the special art installations throughout the property not only demonstrate the fine taste of curators but also the hotel’s interest in supporting regional artists.

Ravish Restaurant

The biggest highlight of The Modern Honolulu experience is an incredible Ravish Restaurant. Hawaiian-born executive chef Keith Pajinag stays true to his heritage with a refreshing menu that showcases Hawaii’s naturally fused cuisine, served on a front terrace.

Each dish is thoughtfully prepared to highlight the vibrant flavors of the region, making dining a memorable experience.

Situated alongside moored marina boats, the open-style kitchen lets patrons watch the team craft soulful, Pacific-inspired dishes. A lively atmosphere enhances the overall dining experience, creating a true sense of connection to the local culture.

After sampling a taster menu featuring inventive Poke salad and sensory cocktails, we highly recommend experiencing this delicious insight into the region’s culture during a stay in Honolulu.
