Romer House Waikiki underwent a comprehensive renovation to transform the existing hotel property into a modern hospitality destination. Originally constructed in 1960 as a 10-story residential building, the property has seen multiple iterations over the decades. The latest transformation was designed to deliver a boutique resort experience that reflects the local character of Waikiki, with thoughtfully curated amenities including a cocktail bar, indoor-outdoor restaurant, and a poolside retreat.

The project introduced significant upgrades to both the building’s infrastructure and guest experience. A major design element involved converting the original single-loaded corridors into double-loaded corridors, nearly doubling the number of guest rooms. This reconfiguration required rerouting key systems such as A/C ducts, the main sewer line, electrical mains, and fire sprinklers, an effort that demanded careful coordination and creative problem-solving.
