360-Degree Views From Above

A multi-level penthouse situated at the top of the Trump International Hotel offers luxury amenities and spectacular views of Waikiki and beyond.

Amidst the bustle and crowds of Waikiki, the Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk stands as a beacon of oasis.

Step through the doors of its Trump Diamond Head Penthouse and surround yourself in a dwelling so luxurious, you’ll find it difficult to leave.

Work on the custom-built two-story suite recently was completed at the end of 2012. Since the Trump International Hotel functions as a condominium hotel, some units are not included in the hotel program.

This one, however, is available for interested travelers or residents looking for an unforgettable stay at the hotel. It also happens to be the hotel’s top-notch penthouse.

The unit has a living area that is measured at an expansive 2,156 square feet, which doesn’t include the two-level lanai that, on its own, has a total area of 2,821 square feet.

Its eclectic feel immediately greets guests who walk in, and is unique from the rest of the hotel. The downstairs living area is comprised of two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen with Miele appliances, a SubZero fridge and Thermador stovetop, amongst other amenities.

The kitchen, which was custom built, includes stainless steel counter features designed by Pininfarina, the same company credited with the exterior designs of certain Ferarris.

Other standout elegant accents contribute greatly to the contemporary charm of each room. Some even feature Hawaiian elements. On one wall hangs a large kapa patterned piece that was specially created by a Japanese artist, made of red earth from the island.

Of course, one of the more notable aspects of this particular penthouse, located at the top of the tower, is the view that it offers.

The first floor living area’s walls are made entirely of glass. In any room of the suite, you’ll be able to see a different view of the island. This includes the bathroom, as it is entirely see-through, providing a clear view of Diamond Head while you shower.

For a 360-degree view of the island, travel up a spiral staircase to the roof of the suite. Situated at the mauka (mountain) side of the building, it is the only unit that offers an all-around vista. Expect beautiful views of the ocean during the day, and bright city lights at night— there’s really never a moment you won’t want to be up top.

An added bonus of the roof: a hot tub offers the ultimate in relaxation.
