Great Location

Vive Hotel Waikiki is conveniently located in the heart of Waikiki, and only two short blocks from the famed Waikiki Beach and the vibrant excitement of luxury shopping on Kalakaua Avenue, as well as the very finest of Hawaii dining options.   The hotel is only 11 miles from Honolulu International Airport; and while it does not offer shuttle service, reservations can be made ahead of time or by simply speaking to the shuttle dispatchers at the airport.  The fare is typically $14.00 one way.  Vive recommends Speedi Shuttle, Hawaii Super Transit, or Roberts Hawaii to assist you in getting to the hotel.   Also within walking distance from the Vive Hotel Waikiki are the Honolulu Zoo, Waikiki Aquarium, Kapiolani Park, and Ala Moana- the world’s largest open-air shopping center.
