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.

I searched for ownership-occupancy indicators such as percentages, "owner occupied," or phrases like "highly owner occupied," but found none. The current value of 7.00 is kept with low confidence because the remarks do not provide any basis to confirm or revise it.
I searched the public remarks for explicit elevator references such as "elevators," "multiple elevators," or a stated count, but found none. Per the rules, the current value of 2 is retained with low confidence because there is no remark-based evidence to confirm or contradict it.

Multiple listings explicitly say the maintenance fee covers "cable TV" or "cable," and the current MLS data shows CABTV in 14/20 records. The remarks are consistent across many agents and appear to be repeated building-level language rather than a one-off claim.
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
This is one of the clearest features in the dataset: all current MLS records show ELECTR, and many remarks say the fee covers "electricity" or "all utilities." The evidence is overwhelming and consistent across listings.
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.
Many listings explicitly state the fee covers "internet," "WiFi," or "high-speed WiFi." The remarks are consistent across multiple agents and align with the current MLS pattern, so this is strongly supported.
No analysis available
Public remarks frequently include "sewer" or "water/sewer" as part of the included utilities. With 19/20 current MLS listings showing SEWER, this is strongly confirmed at the building level.
Water inclusion is explicitly mentioned in many remarks and is also present in all current MLS records. The evidence is unanimous and repeated across listings, making this feature extremely high confidence.

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.

Very strong evidence that the building has a shared patio/deck amenity. Dozens of current listings mention the '10th-floor rooftop sundeck/deck/patio' with panoramic Diamond Head, ocean, and Waikiki views, across multiple agents and copy-paste-style remarks. The consistency of these references confirms this is a building-level shared amenity, not a unit-specific 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.

There are no explicit public remarks confirming a trash chute system, so the evidence is weaker than for other amenities. However, the building remains marked with TRACHU in 13 of 20 current MLS listings, which supports keeping it as a likely building feature. This appears to be checkbox-driven MLS data rather than remark-confirmed evidence.

The pool feature is strongly confirmed. Multiple current remarks across many listings explicitly mention a shared pool or swimming pool, including phrases like "sparkling pool," "large pool," "private hotel pool," and "on-site swimming pool." The evidence is broad and repetitive across different agents/listings, so this appears to be a real building amenity rather than copy-paste noise.

Strong, repeated evidence confirms the building has shared laundry facilities. The current remarks mention it many times across multiple listings, including exact phrases like "community laundry," "community laundry facility," and "laundry facilities," which aligns with the historical MLS amenity data. This appears to be consistent building-level information rather than a copy-paste anomaly.

Parking is supported across many listings, with numerous remarks explicitly referencing parking availability, on-site stalls, nearby parking, or a deeded stall. The evidence is consistent across multiple listings and agents, suggesting this is a real building-level offering even though not every unit includes it. Several remarks note parking is optional or available for a fee, which fits a shared amenity rather than unit-specific 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.
The remarks directly support deeded parking. One listing explicitly says the penthouse has "1 deeded parking stall," which is strong evidence that parking can be deeded/owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for whether parking is included or separately charged. Multiple listings state parking is available for a fee or daily rental, so a monthly/usage parking charge is clearly present when parking is used.
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 looked for language such as "parking waitlist," "waiting list," or "join the waitlist for parking" and found none. The public remarks discuss paid parking availability, but not a formal queue or waitlist system.

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.
15 of 20 current MLS listings include ACWIUN, indicating the building commonly offers unit-level air conditioning. Public remarks are supportive but mostly indirect, with phrases like "split AC for enhanced comfort" and "portable A/C for year-round comfort" rather than explicit window-unit wording. The evidence looks fairly strong across multiple listings, but some of the support may reflect copied MLS data rather than detailed feature descriptions.
Strong building-level evidence supports concrete construction. Current MLS data shows 19/20 listings with 'CONCRE' in construction_materials, and none of the public remarks suggest a material change or contradiction. This appears to be consistent listing data rather than a one-off agent copy/paste issue.

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 remarks consistently confirm that short-term rentals are allowed. They repeatedly describe the building as a legal short-term rental / condotel with nightly, weekly, monthly, or long-term rental use permitted.
The building clearly participates in a hotel-style rental program/pool. Multiple listings reference a hotel program, hotel rental pool, or Castle Resorts rental program, indicating STR operation through hotel management is available.
The rental pool is not mandatory. The public remarks repeatedly state that owners may self-manage, use the unit personally, or place it in the hotel pool/program, which directly indicates optional rather than required participation.

I searched the remarks for phrases like "lease expires 20xx," "ground lease ends," "renewed through," and similar lease-expiry language. The listings repeatedly reference leasehold status and fee-simple availability, but none provide a 4-digit expiration year. Since there is no explicit year to extract, the value remains unknown.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA-related language such as "VA approved," "VA financing," and "VA loans accepted" and found none. The only financing notes reference creative financing, seller financing, or no-money-down structures, which are not VA-specific.
The remarks directly state 'full insurance coverage,' which strongly supports that the building is fully insured / walls-in covered. This is explicit and recent enough to keep the feature true with very 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.
I looked for direct fire/life safety evaluation language and did not find anything stating the building passed FLSE or a fire inspection. One remark mentions fire sprinklers, but that is not the same as an explicit pass/compliance statement, so this remains unconfirmed and is treated as false with low-medium confidence.

Public remarks across the building repeatedly advertise ocean or Pacific Ocean views (explicit phrases include "ocean views", "Pacific Ocean", "partial ocean"). Although only 2/20 MLS view_descriptions currently list OCEAN, well over a dozen listing remarks reference ocean views (including rooftop/lanai and "peekaboo" ocean mentions), and the evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste entry.
No analysis available
Diamond Head views are strongly confirmed across the building. Roughly 15+ of the provided remarks explicitly mention Diamond Head, often alongside rooftop or lanai views, which suggests this is not a copy-paste anomaly but a consistent building/unit feature. The evidence aligns with the prior high-confidence summary and current MLS view data.
City views are strongly supported at the building level: historical MLS data shows 17/20 listings with CITY in the view descriptions. Current public remarks explicitly mention "the city" in at least one listing, and several others describe broad Waikiki/urban-facing outlooks from upper floors or the lanai. Overall, this appears to be consistent building inventory rather than copy-paste noise.

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.
