Hotel Lanai

Hotel Lanai is beautiful and located right by all the cute shops and great restaurants in Lanai City. It is also walking distance to the Adventure Towers and right across the street from the movie theater with the best popcorn ever. I had some minor issues the first night at the hotel and the staff bent over backward to take care of them immediately. My husband and I were having some trouble finding transportation down to the beach and the gal at the desk worked hard to help us out. Erin the manager even went so far as to drive up to the hotel to bring me something I needed. I am so impressed! Will definitely come back again. :)

Hotel Lanai is a gem in the middle of town that offers an unparalleled experience. With only 11 rooms, this boutique historic hotel provides an intimate atmosphere that makes guests feel like family. We were blown away by the full service restaurant on property that served mouthwatering dishes and had an impressive wine selection with a great happy hour.. The king size room with a patio facing town was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hotel's location was within walking distance to local markets, hiking trails, and breathtaking views on a morning walk. We couldn't have asked for a more memorable stay! Shout out Ferlyn (Front Desk), Jacob (bartender) Jordan (hotel restaurant), Christian (Chef), Chuck (Master Sommelier) and Sayla (Housekeeper).

Cute little hotel in Lāna'i City! From the outside you wouldn't think much of it, but the rooms are nicely renovated and feel very spa like. Lights, temperature and shades are controlled using electronic panels in the room and the toilet was a Toto! Bed was super comfy. Staff was friendly and check in was easy. It's right by the town square and in very short walking distance of the island's stores and restaurants. While not inexpensive it's the island's "budget" alternative to the four seasons. Grounds are meticulously maintained and rooms are very clean. Why I didn't give this property 5 stars - they need to do better work with sound reduction. The first night the restaurant was closed so I didn't expect noise. I could hear the neighbors talking in their room, when they passed in the hall and it wasn't muffled. You could literally hear word for word. I had to turn my tv on just to muffle what they were watching. The second night the restaurant was open and it was SO LOUD. It sounded like there was a band playing in my bathroom. After the band stopped, there were some noisy patrons that took a while to clear out. Fortunately with corona restrictions the restaurant couldn't stay open super late so we were able to get to bed at a reasonable hour. It just made it hard to enjoy the room which you'd want to do because there isn't much going on at night. Ask for the rooms furthest from the restaurant and you'll fare a little better on the noise. Also, the continental breakfast was far too basic for the price point of this hotel.

My wife and I ended up staying on Lanai when we needed to move from Maui/ Lahaina when the wild fires burned down the hotel we were supposed to stay at. Our plan was to ferry over to Lanai, but instead, we flew in and stayed two days. This hotel is excellent and very mellow and low key. It is not trying to be the Four Seasons, so do not expect that. The rooms are a bit small by modern standards, but that is because you are in a historic building that was for the Dole executives to stay in when this was a pineapple plantation. Considering the building has been around from the 1920s or so, it is wonderfully modern. It is very comfortable and friendly. Staff was great. Only two nitpicks - bed was very soft and comfortable but you sink in a bit too much and end up in a rut. i think the memory foam mattress needed to be rotated, kind of like your tires. It is great that you can walk all of Lanai City from here and we did so repeatedly. We also ended up getting a car (not a 4WD) and checked out beaches and the cat sanctuary. This is truly old school Hawaii that is mellow and meant to take your blood pressure down. If you cannot handle that, it is on you, not the hotel. I would love to stay here again.

Cutest little hotel. Very accommodating. Nicole, especially! She saved us by giving us a lift to the cat sanctuary after none of the cab companies were answering. The attached bar/restaurant is also fantastic.

Stayed four days, which was a tad too long. I am glad that I came to Lanai. The highlight was a tour with just me and an esteemed local resident , Alberta de Jetkey. She was superb. As for the hotel, it is kind of unusual and is minimally staffed. It is certainly far cheaper than the Four Seasons Resorts, but not inexprnsive either, at $330 per night. This is an historic building and I realize there are limitations, but the room is quite small, with no chair or desk. The decor is rather cool modern and there are a bunch of geewhiz electronics, which I was starting to figure out by the end of the stay. The toilet does everything but carry on a chat with you. The continental breakfast Serves a purpose, but is very basic. The word is out that the hotel is going to close this year, at least on a temporary basis, to house construction supervisors for the owner of most of the island, Larry Ellison. That is too bad.
