For the traveler who wants to dive into the locale they visit, who shuns the soulless and searches for the sincere, Romer Waikīkī at the Ambassador is ready to welcome you. This iconic hotel, formerly known as The Ambassador, embraces its surrounding community, from locally brewed Big Island coffee in every room to partnerships with Oahu's neighborhood gems.

If you're planning a day out on the water, pay a visit to Beach Candy Waikīkī to pick up a surf or paddle board or simply a beach chair and umbrella (if you'd rather stay sublime on the sand) —rentals are included with your stay. Be sure to pass through Surf Alley on the way back to snap a pic at the surfboard lane, before pulling up a seat at the Ambassador Neighborhood Café for casual fare and local bubbles and beer. Forgot to grab a souvenir for someone back home? Stop in The Corner Store, the hotel's lifestyle essentials shop offering a curated collection of bits and bobs from O'ahu's best artisans. Enjoy a daily $50 credit to spend at Favorite Son and Waikiki Swim & Social when you book this offer, perfect for unwinding and dining in style.
For the discerning explorer in search of something special or the seasoned traveler who thinks they've seen it all, Aman Venice offers a stay that's truly singular. The hotel is housed in a 16th-century palazzo overlooking Venice's Grand Canal, with private gardens, original architecture, and private access via boat.

Elements of the property's opulent Rococo past like chinoiserie and Murano glass chandeliers meet Jean Michel Gathy's elevated, serene simplicity in the 24 rooms. Arva, the hotel's signature Italian restaurant, is located in the piano nobile, the main floor of a Renaissance building meant for receiving guests in style. After dinner, enjoy a quiet stroll through the intimate gardens or a nightcap in the silk-walled, frescoed Bar.
