Joie de Vivre Hotels has expanded its presence in Hawaii with the opening of the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki. The newly renamed 135-room property, formerly known as the Seaside Hotel Waikiki, reopened this month after completing an extensive renovation.
Located in the heart of Honolulu’s vibrant shopping and dining district and a short walk from Waikiki Beach, the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki blends 1970s-inspired architecture with modern design elements. Guest rooms are thoughtfully equipped for comfort and convenience, offering complimentary WiFi, flat-screen televisions, mini-fridges, microwaves and private balconies.
The hotel’s design emphasizes a relaxed, approachable atmosphere intended to reflect Joie de Vivre’s signature spirit—combining bold design choices with personalized service and practical amenities that appeal to leisure travelers and beachgoers. The property’s updated public spaces and guest rooms aim to create a warm, welcoming environment while retaining nods to midcentury modern style.
Niki Leondakis, CEO of Commune Hotels & Resorts, the parent company of Joie de Vivre, commented on the opening, noting that the Shoreline Hotel Waikiki captures the brand’s carefree warmth and ingenuity. The property is positioned to serve visitors seeking easy access to Waikiki’s beaches, dining and shopping, while providing a convenient and comfortable base for exploring Honolulu and the surrounding areas.
With its refreshed design and practical room amenities, Shoreline Hotel Waikiki strengthens Joie de Vivre’s footprint in Hawaii and offers travelers an updated option for stays in this popular beachfront neighborhood.
