Arden Waikīkī
Waikīkī, Honolulu, Hawaii, United States — Lotus Honolulu Hotel, 2885 Kalākaua Avenue, 2nd Floor, Honolulu, HI 96815
Arden Waikīkī is a verified operating restaurant inside the Lotus Honolulu Hotel at Diamond Head, with the official restaurant and hotel pages both placing it at 2885 Kalākaua Avenue on the hotel’s second floor. The restaurant presents itself as a share-plate dining room rooted in Hawaiʻi’s local ingredients, and the current official material supports that positioning with dinner service, event listings and menu pages. Its location at the quieter Diamond Head end of Waikīkī gives it a noticeably different feel from the busiest central strip, while still keeping it firmly within urban Honolulu and useful for visitors staying in or near Waikīkī. The practical details are unusually clear on the official sources: Arden states that it is open Wednesday through Sunday from 5pm to 9pm, the hotel confirms takeout availability during those same evening hours, and the restaurant highlights complimentary parking at Lotus Honolulu Hotel. Those specifics make it easy to verify both operation and visitor access. In this ranking it works well as a newer Waikīkī restaurant with a distinct identity, representing contemporary hotel-based dining without relying on nostalgia or beachfront spectacle alone.
