Ilikai is a designated legal short term vacation rental condo-tel where units may be rented by the night, which makes at attractive to investors.
Located in front of the marina, It's one of the only condo-tels with direct beach access!
Comprised of 1,009 resort condominiums and completed in 1964, the Ilikai, which translated from Hawaiian means "surface of the sea," was the first resort-condominium property to be developed in Waikiki. As a result of its impressive size and modern features of the time, the Ilikai became an instant icon, and to this day continues to be one of the most recognizable buildings in the State of Hawaii.
Over the last 50 years, prominent guests have included U.S. Presidents Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, as well as Elvis Presley, John Wayne, Jack Benny, Jim Nabors and Englebert Humperdink. The Ilikai was also made famous by its weekly appearance in the opening credits of the original hit television series Hawaii 5-0 from 1968-1980.
Developed by Chin Ho and his locally–renowned Capital Investment Company, the 30-story Ilikai with its three-wing design and distinct turquoise panels was designed by architect John Graham Jr., who also designed Seattle's iconic Space Needle.
Aqua is available as the Property Manager, and has a front desk in the lobby.
