Waikiki Grand Hotel
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

The provided current value is 7.00% owner-occupancy. I reviewed the remarks for any explicit owner-occupancy statements and found none, so I retained the existing numeric value with low confidence as required by the rules.
The current data lists 2 elevators. I reviewed all public remarks for terms like 'elevator(s)' or 'lift' and found no explicit references, so I retained the current value with low confidence per rules.

15 of 20 current MLS listings include CABTV in association_fee_includes and multiple public remarks explicitly state the maintenance fee includes 'cable TV' or 'cable'. Remarks quote phrases like 'Monthly maintenance fee covers all utilities including cable and internet' and 'Maintenance fee includes electricity, cable TV, internet, water, and sewer.' Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, indicating strong building-level coverage for cable.
16 of 20 current MLS listings include OTCOEX and public remarks repeatedly state maintenance/association fees include common area or common expenses (phrases like 'common area expenses' and 'other communal expenses' appear across multiple agent remarks). Evidence is consistent across many agent listings and reinforced by statements such as 'maintenance fee includes ... common area expenses' and 'monthly maintenance fee includes all utilities' that group common area costs with utilities.

All 20 current MLS listings show ELECTR in association_fee_includes and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'maintenance fee includes electricity' or 'all utilities'. Remarks include direct phrases such as 'Monthly maintenance fee covers all utilities' and 'Maintenance fee includes electricity,' providing very strong, building-wide confirmation.

18 of 20 current MLS listings include HOTWAT in association_fee_includes and many remarks list 'all utilities' or water/sewer as part of the maintenance fee. No listings show WTRHTR in inclusions, and remarks frequently group water-related services with utilities, supporting inclusion of hot water in the fees across the building.
16 of 20 current MLS listings include INTSER in association_fee_includes and numerous public remarks explicitly state 'internet' or 'high-speed WiFi' is covered (e.g., 'Monthly maintenance fee covers all utilities including cable and internet'). The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, indicating building-level internet is included in fees.
No analysis available
19 of 20 current MLS listings include SEWER in association_fee_includes and public remarks repeatedly mention 'sewer' or 'sewer/water' as included in the monthly maintenance fee (e.g., 'Maintenance fee includes ... water, and sewer'). This near-universal confirmation across listings supports inclusion at the building level.
100% (20 of 20) of current MLS listings include WATER in association_fee_includes and many public remarks state the maintenance fee 'includes water' or 'sewer/water'. The consistent, building-wide language across multiple agents and listings yields very high confidence that water is included in the maintenance fee.

Strong, consistent evidence that the building has a shared rooftop patio/deck: numerous listings explicitly reference the "10th-floor rooftop sundeck," "10th-floor sundeck patio," or "10th-floor common area roof patio/deck." This feature appears in the majority of current remarks (matching MLS checkbox prevalence ~15/20) and aligns with prior high-confidence records, indicating a building-level amenity rather than isolated unit language.

Multiple listings from different agents repeatedly mention in-building dining options, including Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, and references to a 'restaurant' and 'ground-floor restaurant.' At least 10+ distinct remarks clearly describe these on-site restaurants as building amenities, confirming that the building offers on-site dining. This is consistent with the MLS RESTAU checkbox being selected on most listings.

No listing remarks explicitly reference a 'trash chute' or 'garbage chute,' but a majority of MLS entries continue to mark TRACHU, implying the building has a central trash chute system. Given this repeated checkbox usage across many listings and no contradictory remarks, the feature is included with moderate confidence as an implied building amenity.

Strong, consistent evidence across listings indicates the Waikiki Grand Hotel has a shared swimming pool: 20 of 20 current MLS listings include the POOL amenity and multiple remarks state phrases such as "pool on-premise," "swimming pool," and "sparkling pool." Mentions appear across many agent remarks and listings (including references to a 10th-floor sundeck and on-property pool), so the evidence is robust and likely not a single-agent copy/paste error.

Strong evidence that the building offers shared/community laundry: the MLS historically flagged COMLAU on 19 of 20 listings and numerous current public remarks explicitly state “community laundry,” “laundry facilities,” or “laundry on site.” Multiple agents across many listings repeat this amenity (not isolated to a single listing), indicating the building-level shared laundry is widely advertised and very likely accurate.

Several recent listings explicitly describe on-site parking, including phrases like 'on-site parking available at a nightly rate', 'on-site parking stalls are available for daily rental', and 'parking stalls on property for daily rental', indicating building-controlled parking options. One listing for a penthouse unit also notes a deeded parking stall. While most MLS checkboxes show 'NONE' for individual units, consistent cross-agent remarks plus prior high-confidence history confirm that the building does offer parking, typically as paid or limited-availability stalls rather than unit-included parking.
No analysis available
No listing remarks describe covered parking, garages, or carports. Multiple listings (numerous ads across the building's listings) reference 'on-site parking stalls', 'daily/nightly parking rental', 'zoo parking', or 'nearby street parking', and one listing mentions '1 deeded parking stall', but there are zero explicit mentions of 'covered', 'garage', or 'carport'. Given the absence of any explicit covered-parking language across many agent remarks and suspicious MLS checkbox usage, we conclude covered parking is not present.
At least one remark explicitly references a deeded parking stall (penthouse with 1 deeded stall) and another references the maintenance fee including the parking stall, supporting that deeded parking exists in the building.
No analysis available
I searched for specific monthly parking fee amounts but found only general statements that parking/storage is available 'for a fee', nightly/daily rates, and occasional mention of nearby monthly options. No explicit monthly parking fee amount is provided in the public remarks.
Remarks talk about guests using street or zoo parking—e.g., 'Parking options include zoo parking, or on-street parking for visiting guests'—but never mention 'guest parking' or visitor-designated stalls. With only a single MLS GUEST checkbox among 20 and no textual support, the building appears not to offer formal guest parking stalls as an amenity.
While many listings highlight building security (e.g., '24-hour front desk', 'security', 'front desk concierge'), none explicitly describe the parking as 'gated', 'secured', 'card access', or 'secure entry'. Several listings note on-site or daily/nightly parking availability, but there are zero explicit references to secured-entry parking across the public remarks, so the building's parking should not be marked as secured-entry.

I searched for explicit language indicating a parking waitlist or waiting list system and found none. Remarks mention parking is subject to availability and daily/nightly rental, but no waitlist system is described.

Confidence 70%: One listing highlights "24-hour security," implying on-site security presence rather than just passive measures.

14 of 20 recent MLS records have the ACWIUN checkbox checked. Several listing remarks explicitly mention unit A/C such as "portable A/C for year-round comfort" and "comes fully furnished with split A/C," indicating units are equipped with in-unit/unit-style air conditioning. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listings, though the exact A/C type appears to vary (portable, split, or window/wall), so some copy/paste may exist but the building does offer unit A/C.
Across current MLS listings for this building, 19 out of 20 explicitly list 'CONCRE' in the construction_materials field, strongly indicating reinforced concrete construction. Public remarks (multiple agent listings) reference the building age (built 1963) and amenities but do not mention any change to or alternative construction materials, so the historical high-confidence concrete designation is retained.

Public remarks repeatedly and explicitly state the building is legally permitted and zoned for short-term/vacation rentals (condotel), including multiple 'LEGAL SHORT-TERM RENTAL' declarations and notes that DPP registration is not required.
Listings describe an organized hotel-managed rental program (hotel pool and third-party management options such as Castle Resorts) and explicitly offer owners the option to participate, supporting that a hotel rental pool exists.
Remarks consistently indicate participation in the hotel rental pool is optional — owners can self-manage, use the hotel program, or use the unit personally — so mandatory pool participation is false with high confidence.

I searched for explicit lease expiry years (e.g., 'lease expires 2050', 'leasehold to 2065', renewal dates) but found no 4-digit expiry year. The building is described in some listings as leasehold (with fee available), but no expiry year was provided in the public remarks.
I searched the remarks for phrases indicating VA loan approval (e.g., 'VA approved', 'VA financing', 'VA loans accepted') and found none. Therefore set to false with low confidence due to absence of evidence in remarks.
Public remarks explicitly reference full insurance coverage for the building. Based on that explicit language in multiple listings, I set insured_fully to true with high confidence.
Multiple MLS entries (15/20) mark fire sprinklers, and a recent front-side high-floor listing explicitly notes that the unit 'offers fire sprinklers.' This direct mention, combined with consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings, strongly supports that the building has a fire sprinkler system. There is no conflicting evidence indicating any change or removal.
I searched for phrases such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed', 'FLSE passed', 'passed fire inspection', and similar wording and found none. Although the remarks mention 'fire sprinklers', there is no explicit statement that the building passed a fire/life safety evaluation, so FLSE pass is not confirmed.

At least one current listing (1 of ~20) explicitly mentions "views of... the city"—e.g., "sweeping peekaboo views of Diamond Head, the city, and lush mountain ranges." Many other listings reference panoramic Diamond Head, ocean, mountain, and park views, indicating consistent view marketing across agents (likely some copy/paste). While city mentions are limited to a single remark in this batch, historical high-confidence data and the explicit phrasing justify including view_city as a building-level feature.

MLS data previously showed multiple listings with the resident manager amenity, and a newer listing explicitly describes a 'resident manager' as part of the building features. This direct confirmation, together with consistent historic MLS data, indicates the building maintains an on-site resident manager. No remarks suggest that this service has been discontinued.
