Everyone is Welcome Here

We celebrate individuality with a culture of inclusion, and this extends to all of our guests including those with disabilities. That’s why our hotel grounds are accessible and inviting—from our accessible pool and common areas, to our ADA rooms outfitted for comfort and convenience without sacrificing style.

At Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel, we believe it is our kuleana (responsibility and privilege) to help ensure the sustainability of these beautiful Hawaiian islands and its resources for future generations. It's why we engage in green initiatives and adopt sustainability best practices as we continue to strive to reduce waste, save energy and decrease water usage. Together, Queen Kapiʻolani Hotel and our valued guests can minimize the negative impact we make on the environment through mindful programs available on the property, helping to prevent the depletion of natural resources here in Hawaiʻi and beyond

Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative Partnership

Queen Kapi'olani Hotel is proud to play a role in bringing back Hawaii's native/endemic forests. Through our partnership with the non-profit Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative (HLRI), we are helping return treasured native trees to HLRI's Haleiwa Forest site.

We consider it our duty. We can help honor Queen Kapi'olani legacy by restoring the natural wealth of her islands.  Queen Kapi'olani was deeply concerned with the health challenges that plagued Hawaii.  Through our partnership, we will help to plant trees and plants that native Hawaiians used for traditional medicine, "la'au lapa'au" within HLRIʻs, "Hawaiian Legacy Healing Forest".

Each of the trees planted are geo-tagged with an individual radio-frequency identification chip that records everything from their genetic make-up and health to the story of their planting.

Queen Kapi'olani Hotel, with the help of our guests, has pledged to plant 1,000 trees with HLRI, helping to rehabilitate Hawaii's threatened native ecosystem. We invite you to take part in your own tree-planting ceremony on Oahu. To date, HLRI through its partnerships has planted over 600,000 native and endemic trees on Hawaii Island and Oahu.
