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 penthouse listing is unit 1004 on floor 10, and MLS floor fields and unit-number-derived floors consistently reach 10. The state registration also reports 10 floors; no contrary residential-floor evidence is present.
Honolulu County's reconciled_units and residential_cpr both report 184 for the single-building parcel. The state registration reports conflicting totals (219 total units and 171 residential units), so it is set aside in favor of the county's residential-unit figure.
Owner occupancy from AOUO registration(s) 974. Refreshed by Real_Estate_Scraper/reb_registry/propagate_owner_occupancy.py, which this lock does not block.
The remarks were searched for elevator references, including a stated number, 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators,' but none were found. Keep the current value of 2 with low confidence because there is no evidence in the remarks to confirm or deny it.
Calculated from the lowest association fee observed across all non-penthouse unit listings for this building.

At least 15 listings or the current MLS records identify cable as included, with repeated phrases such as "cable TV," "cable," and "all utilities including cable." The evidence is strong across multiple listings and agents, although some remarks appear to reuse standard building language.
Several listings say fees include "common area expenses" or "other communal expenses," matching the MLS OTCOEX pattern. This is consistent building-level wording repeated across multiple remarks, so confidence is high.
No analysis available
Electricity inclusion is supported unanimously by current MLS data (20/20 listings). Remarks repeatedly quote phrases such as "includes electricity," "maintenance fee covers electricity," and "all utilities—including electricity," across multiple listings and agents.
No analysis available
Although the MLS often has HOTWAT checked, the public remarks consistently mention electricity, water, sewer, cable, and internet without specifically saying hot water. There is no strong remark evidence confirming building-supplied hot water, so this feature is treated as not reliably supported from the public text.
Internet inclusion is strongly supported by current MLS data (15/20 listings). Multiple remarks state "internet included," "high-speed WiFi," or "all utilities including cable and internet," confirming this is a recurring building-level benefit rather than a single copied remark.
No analysis available
Sewer inclusion is supported by 19/20 current MLS records and extensive remarks. Multiple listings explicitly mention "sewer included," "water/sewer," or list sewer among the utilities covered by the maintenance fee.
Water inclusion is unanimously supported by current MLS data (20/20 listings). Remarks from multiple listings and agents consistently confirm that maintenance fees include water, often together with electricity, sewer, cable, and internet.

Concierge service is strongly supported across the listing set. At least several remarks explicitly say "front desk concierge," "24-hour front desk staff," or similar phrasing, which indicates a staffed front desk/concierge rather than just security. The current MLS amenity checkbox also aligns with these repeated descriptions, so this does not appear to be a copy-paste error.

At least 17 of 20 listings identify patio/deck amenities, and numerous independent remarks explicitly describe the “10th-floor rooftop deck,” “rooftop sundeck,” “Sundeck patio,” or “common area roof patio/deck.” The repeated detailed references across many listings strongly confirm a shared building amenity rather than an unchecked or copied-only MLS feature.

The restaurant amenity is well supported across many listings. Multiple remarks explicitly say "on-site dining," "on-site restaurant," "two restaurants," and name the in-building venues Teddy's Bigger Burgers and Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, which suggests this is a real shared building feature rather than a copy-paste error. Current evidence is consistent across many agents and matches the historical high-confidence MLS data.

0 listings explicitly mention a trash chute system. The 13/20 MLS amenity selections are not supported by remarks from multiple agents, so the feature is omitted as likely unverified or copy-pasted MLS data.

The pool is overwhelmingly confirmed across the building: more than 20 listings explicitly mention a pool or swimming pool, including “pool in the building,” “resort-style amenities including a pool,” and “on-site swimming pool.” The repeated confirmations across many distinct listing descriptions, consistent with the historical high-confidence record and MLS amenity data, strongly establish this as a building amenity.

Community laundry is repeatedly confirmed across many listings, including phrases such as “on-site community laundry facility,” “community laundry on site,” “convenient community laundry facilities,” and “laundry facilities.” The feature appears across numerous agents and listing versions, and the strong 17/20 MLS amenity frequency supports that the building has shared laundry.

At least 12 listings explicitly mention parking, including “on-site parking available at a nightly rate,” “on-site parking stalls,” “optional parking ... available for fee,” and “low nightly parking reservation fees or free street parking.” The remarks come from multiple listings and consistently describe building, nearby, or paid parking options, outweighing the mostly unchecked MLS parking fields.
At least 2 listings explicitly mention a 'deeded parking stall,' including one stating it is included in the sale. This is strong, specific evidence from listing remarks, not merely copied MLS checkbox data, so assigned parking should be included for the building.
No current listing remarks explicitly mention covered parking, a garage, carport, or covered stalls. Three of 20 listings carry covered/garage-related MLS codes, while many remarks only say parking is available on-site or for a fee; the feature is retained primarily because of the prior High-confidence building record, though current textual support is weak.
Multiple listings directly support deeded parking for at least some units in the building. The evidence is explicit and repeated, although parking availability may vary by unit.
No analysis available
The listings mention optional parking, parking available for a fee, daily rental rates, nightly reservation fees, and nearby monthly parking options. No specific monthly parking charge was provided, so the amount is unknown.
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.

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

Evidence that some units have split/ductless A/C is present across multiple listings: at least four separate remark blocks explicitly note 'features split AC', 'comes fully furnished with split A/C', 'split A/C system', and one notes 'portable A/C'. This aligns with the MLS checkbox (3/20 listings include ACSPL). Multiple agents independently mention the feature, so the building should be listed as offering split AC for some units.
ACWIUN appears in 16 of 20 current listings, providing strong multi-listing evidence that the building offers unit-level air conditioning. Remarks include "portable A/C" and multiple references to "split AC," while most listings rely on copied amenities or MLS fields rather than explicitly describing window units.
The building is strongly validated as concrete construction by current MLS data, with 19 of 20 listings marked CONCRE. Public remarks do not explicitly use phrases such as “concrete building” or “reinforced concrete,” but there is no conflicting evidence and the high-confidence historical building-level data supports retaining this feature.

Moderate evidence for 'above ground' construction: 8 of 20 current MLS listings include 'ABOGRO' in construction_materials. However, none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'above ground' or a recent change, and reporting appears inconsistent across agents, so inclusion is given with moderate confidence (implied rather than explicitly stated in remarks).

Short-term rental permission is repeatedly and explicitly confirmed throughout the remarks. Listings describe legal nightly, vacation, Airbnb, and short-term rentals, sometimes noting that no special DPP registration is required.
The building clearly participates in a hotel-style rental program. Multiple listings reference hotel management, Castle Resorts, onsite management, or placement in the hotel rental pool.
Participation in the hotel rental pool is optional rather than mandatory. Multiple listings describe self-management, third-party management, personal use, long-term rental, and the ability to opt out of the hotel program.

The listings describe the property as leasehold in some instances and state that fee simple is available for purchase. No four-digit lease-expiry year, ground-lease end date, or renewal date was found.
The remarks mention seller financing and creative financing options, but do not identify VA financing or VA loan approval. Because no VA-specific language was found, this feature is not supported.
The remarks explicitly state that the building has “full insurance coverage,” which supports fully insured HOA building coverage. This is consistent with the prior high-confidence verification.
Fire sprinklers are strongly supported across the building: 14 of 20 current listings include the FIRSPR amenity, consistent with 15 of 20 historical listings. Multiple remarks explicitly mention “fire sprinklers” or that the unit “offers fire sprinklers,” confirming this is a building-level feature rather than an isolated or copied checkbox.
The remarks were searched for explicit fire/life safety statements such as FLSE passed, fire safety certified, life safety compliant, or passed fire inspection, but none were found. No current verified value is provided, so this remains false with medium-low confidence based on the absence of qualifying remarks.

Many listings mention ocean views, including "panoramic ocean views," "best ocean views on Oahu," "Pacific Ocean," and "Ocean, Park view lanai." The repeated references across numerous listings and agents establish that the building offers ocean-view units and shared ocean views from the rooftop.
At least three listings explicitly mention "beautiful mountain views," "views of the Ko'olau Mountains and Manoa valley," or "ocean and mountain views." These are sufficiently specific and appear in more than one listing, confirming that mountain-view units are available.
Many listings cite "panoramic views of Diamond Head," "unobstructed views of the world-famous Diamond Head crater," and Diamond Head views from private lanais and the common sundeck. The volume and consistency of these references across listings strongly confirm the feature.
At least 1 supplied listing explicitly mentions "views of Diamond Head, the city, and lush mountain ranges," while current MLS data marks CITY in 18 of 20 listings. Although city views are mentioned less often in the narrative remarks than ocean or Diamond Head views, the strong current MLS prevalence and historical support justify inclusion.
One listing directly states that the 10th-floor rooftop sundeck has "panoramic views of Diamond Head, Pacific Ocean, and Waikiki coastline." This is explicit evidence that the building offers coastline views, though it is less frequently mentioned than ocean or Diamond Head views.
No listing clearly uses the terms "garden view," "courtyard view," or "landscaped view." Although some remarks mention Kapiolani Park, lush greenery, or a park setting, those statements do not establish a building garden view.

One listing specifically says the rooftop deck is "the perfect place to enjoy both sunrises and sunsets in paradise." This is an explicit building-level statement, although it appears in only one listing.
At least two listings mention sunset access, including "enjoy both sunrises and sunsets" and a rooftop deck "great for ... watching the sunset." These references support sunset views from the shared rooftop amenity.

The building appears to have an on-site resident manager: historical MLS data supported it, and current remarks explicitly mention 'resident manager' as a building amenity. The evidence is consistent across the listing remarks and does not appear to be a one-off agent checkbox error.
