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 remarks were searched for owner-occupancy language such as a percentage, 'majority owner occupied,' or 'highly owner occupied.' The references to 'high occupancy' describe vacation-rental or guest occupancy rather than owner occupancy, so the current value of 7.0 is retained with low confidence.
The remarks were searched for references such as 'elevators,' 'four elevators,' or 'multiple elevators,' but none were found. Because a current value exists and there is no evidence to confirm or deny it, the value remains 2 with low confidence.
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
More than 15 listings explicitly mention "electricity included," "includes electricity," or "all utilities—electric." The unanimous current MLS data and repeated confirmation across multiple remarks provide exceptionally strong building-level evidence.
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.
At least 15 listings or MLS records support internet inclusion, with phrases including "internet," "high-speed WiFi," and "all utilities including cable and internet." The repeated statements across multiple agents strongly confirm this feature, notwithstanding some likely copy-paste wording.
No analysis available
At least 19 current MLS records include sewer, while many remarks say "water/sewer," "sewer, water," or list sewer among all included utilities. This is consistent, repeated building-level evidence from multiple listings.
More than 15 listings explicitly mention "water included," "includes water," or "all utilities—electricity, water, cable, and internet." The unanimous MLS data and repeated remarks provide very strong confirmation across the building.

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: at least 20 current remarks explicitly mention a pool or swimming pool, with repeated descriptions such as “large pool,” “sparkling pool,” “on-site swimming pool,” and “pool on property.” The evidence appears across many listings and aligns with the current MLS amenity data showing pool-related entries on 19 of 20 listings, so this is a strong shared building amenity.

Shared/community laundry is strongly confirmed across the building. At least 17 of 20 current listings carry the COMLAU amenity, and many remarks explicitly describe “community laundry,” “on-site community laundry,” or “laundry facilities,” indicating consistent evidence across multiple listings rather than a single unsupported checkbox.

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.
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.
The remarks directly support deeded parking for at least one unit in the building. Because the statement is explicit, deeded parking is supported, although it may not apply to every unit.
No analysis available
The remarks mention “parking available for a fee,” “optional parking ... available for fee,” “on-site parking ... at a nightly rate,” and daily rental parking. They do not provide a specific monthly parking fee, 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.

The remarks discuss paid, daily, nearby, street, zoo, and optional parking, but do not mention a waitlist system. Therefore, there is no public-remarks evidence of a parking waitlist.

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.
Window or wall A/C is supported by the current MLS inclusion data in 16 of 20 listings, making this a common building offering rather than an isolated feature. Public remarks mention "portable A/C" in one listing and "split AC" in several others, confirming that individual units have air-conditioning, though the remarks appear to vary by unit and do not consistently identify the exact A/C type.
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).

The building is repeatedly described as a legal short-term rental condotel, including statements that no special DPP registration is required. This provides overwhelming evidence that short-term rentals are allowed.
The remarks repeatedly confirm participation in a hotel-style rental program or pool. Because short-term rentals are explicitly allowed, the prerequisite is satisfied.
The hotel rental pool is optional rather than mandatory. Multiple remarks explicitly describe alternatives to the pool, including self-management, personal use, long-term rental, and independent management.

The remarks mention “Leasehold,” “Lease Hold,” and that fee simple is available for purchase. No four-digit lease-expiry year, ground-lease end date, or renewal date was found, so the expiry year remains unknown.
The remarks were searched for explicit VA-related language such as “VA approved,” “VA financing,” or “VA loans accepted.” None was found. Creative financing and seller financing are mentioned, but these do not establish VA loan approval.
A listing directly describes the building as having 'full insurance coverage,' which supports fully insured HOA building coverage or walls-in coverage. This is explicit public-remark evidence, so the feature is true with high confidence.
Evidence is strong and consistent: historical MLS data already had 15/20 listings marked for fire sprinklers, and at least one current remark explicitly states the unit 'offers fire sprinklers.' This looks like a real building feature rather than copy-paste noise, since the explicit mention aligns with the prior high-confidence MLS pattern.
The remarks were searched for explicit statements such as 'fire life safety evaluation passed,' 'FLSE passed,' 'fire safety certified,' 'life safety compliant,' or 'passed fire inspection.' None were found; references to fire sprinklers alone do not establish that the building passed an FLSE.

At least 20 listings mention ocean or Pacific Ocean views, including "panoramic ocean views," "best ocean views on Oahu," and "Ocean, Park view lanai." The feature is consistently described across many listings and is clearly a building offering, primarily through the 10th-floor rooftop deck and some front-side unit lanais.
No analysis available
At least 25 listings mention Diamond Head views, including "panoramic views of Diamond Head," "unobstructed views of the world-famous Diamond Head crater," and private-lanai Diamond Head views. The repeated references across many agents and unit descriptions strongly establish this as a building-level offering.
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.

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.

Confidence levels are based on MLS checkbox data and AI analysis of listing remarks. High = strong evidence, Medium = some evidence, Low = limited or conflicting evidence. Buyers should always verify critical details independently.
