A century ago, the grounds of The Equus stood as a stately private refuge for cattle ranchers and cowboys. Once known as The Hawaii Polo Inn, The Equus is a historic hotel in Waikiki, and is the latest addition to our group of boutique hotels.

Standing ten stories and nestled amid the tropical foliage and bustling island city of Waikiki, The Equus is a serene haven with bamboo- and Ralph Lauren-inspired décor in honor of its equestrian heritage.

While tranquility rules at The Equus, adventure abounds with guided beachfront horseback tours, hiking the trails of Diamond Head, and world-class golf courses nearby. The Equus is centrally located to satisfy every want.

Because we cherish the outdoors and want to protect our environment, The Equus is committed to Earth-friendly practices. The Equus is a proud member of the Green Hotels Association.

Your sojourn to an exotic country retreat awaits. Duly stylish with Ralph Lauren- or bamboo-inspired suites, The Equus is an intimate luxury hotel designed as a nod to Hawaii’s polo and equestrian history.

The elegance and comfort of old Kamaaina Hawaii serves as inspiration to each of The Equus’ 68 guestrooms and suites. Soothing décor and convenient amenities provide the comforts of home, including a stainless-steel refrigerator, coffee maker, and, in some guestrooms, a wet bar. To keep you connected, complimentary WiFi is available throughout the hotel.

With paniolo-inspired décor as a backdrop, it’s the elegance and comfort of old Kamaaina Hawaii that gives our Oahu resort The Equus its warm and inviting atmosphere. Our friendly Guests Services Agents further the experience with services and amenities designed to cater to your every whim, making for a truly unforgettable vacation.
