The Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel has introduced a new room category called Aston Select. Each Select room has been hand-chosen for its ocean view. The Oceanfront Select rooms offer unobstructed, panoramic views of Waikiki Beach. The Ocean View Select rooms, located on the 20th floor and above, offer bird’s-eye views of the ocean.

Of the Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel’s 645 total rooms, 79 are Aston Select Rooms. Of those, 36 are Ocean View Select and 43 are Oceanfront Select. Through the end of 2012, nightly room rates start at $215 for Ocean View Select rooms and $252 for Oceanfront Select rooms. Aston Select room rates are approximately $20 more than non-Aston Select guest rooms.

On arrival, guests in the Oceanfront Select and Ocean View Select rooms will find a special amenity of beverages and snacks, personally selected by the hotel manager, along with the standard amenities offered to all guests. Aston is looking into expanding the Aston Select concept to all islands.
