Hotel Lanai

Small quaint hotel right in city center. Admittedly, city center is about a block long across both sides of Dole Park. The toilets are the best amenity this hotel offers. The building itself has a lot of plantation history so that nice. The room is updated and aesthetically pleasing. The shower pressure is light and there really isn't hot water. There is warm water to shower. It was disappointing that the hotel had no body lotion. Such a basic amenity. It's a good alternative to save money on a hotel when compared with Four Seasons and Sensie. Staff was cordial. I would stay again if my plan would be outside of the room 95% of the day. No room to walk around in your room and I booked the room with a porch thankfully. That gave us some room to move around.

Hotel Lanai is beautiful and located right by all the cute shops and great restaurants in Lanai City. It is also walking distance to the Adventure Towers and right across the street from the movie theater with the best popcorn ever. I had some minor issues the first night at the hotel and the staff bent over backward to take care of them immediately. My husband and I were having some trouble finding transportation down to the beach and the gal at the desk worked hard to help us out. Erin the manager even went so far as to drive up to the hotel to bring me something I needed. I am so impressed! Will definitely come back again. :)

My wife and I ended up staying on Lanai when we needed to move from Maui/ Lahaina when the wild fires burned down the hotel we were supposed to stay at. Our plan was to ferry over to Lanai, but instead, we flew in and stayed two days. This hotel is excellent and very mellow and low key. It is not trying to be the Four Seasons, so do not expect that. The rooms are a bit small by modern standards, but that is because you are in a historic building that was for the Dole executives to stay in when this was a pineapple plantation. Considering the building has been around from the 1920s or so, it is wonderfully modern. It is very comfortable and friendly. Staff was great. Only two nitpicks - bed was very soft and comfortable but you sink in a bit too much and end up in a rut. i think the memory foam mattress needed to be rotated, kind of like your tires. It is great that you can walk all of Lanai City from here and we did so repeatedly. We also ended up getting a car (not a 4WD) and checked out beaches and the cat sanctuary. This is truly old school Hawaii that is mellow and meant to take your blood pressure down. If you cannot handle that, it is on you, not the hotel. I would love to stay here again.

Cutest little hotel. Very accommodating. Nicole, especially! She saved us by giving us a lift to the cat sanctuary after none of the cab companies were answering. The attached bar/restaurant is also fantastic.
