Head to Honolulu for Hawaii’s Pride Season
This October, Hawaii turns up the color, culture, and community spirit with Honolulu PRIDE, the state’s largest LGBTQ+ celebration.
Honolulu was recently named as one of the top 10 safest cities for LGTBQ+ travelers. Beyond the PRIDE festivities, Honolulu is home to a variety of LGBTQ+ friendly spots including In Between Waikiki, Queen’s Surf Beach, LGBTQ+ owned The Curb Kaimuki, and more. S
et against the vibrant backdrop of Waikiki, the streets are alive with music, art and aloha in an island-wide celebration of love and inclusivity. From parades to special stay packages, we have two top resorts that put guests at the center of the action while offering the laid-back luxury and warm hospitality Hawaii is known for:
‘Alohilani Resort Waikiki Beach
Right in the heart of Waikiki, ‘Alohilani blends sleek oceanfront style with an open-hearted island welcome.
For travelers, the PRIDE Amplified package includes 15% off room rates, free breakfast for two, tickets to the parade and a donation to a local LGBTQ+ nonprofit. Festivities at the resort include the Alaska x Hawaiian Airlines Rainbow Drag Brunch on Oct. 19 (heels, humor and hash browns!) and easy access to the parade route.
As a continued Sponsor of Honolulu PRIDE 2025, ‘Alohilani is excited to celebrate the diversity and inclusion of the LGBTQ community, their families and allies, across all age groups, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. Guests are invited to walk with ‘Alohilani and partake in PRIDE festivities.
Booking Dates and now through October 31st 2025, with travel dates now through October 31, 2025.
The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki, Tapestry Collection by Hilton:
A retro-meets-modern social hub just steps from the parade, The Ambassador Hotel of Waikiki will host a lively PRIDE parade viewing party at its Waikiki Swim & Social Club, complete with music, cocktails and front row access to see the colorful floats rolling by. The hotel’s design nods to island nostalgia while offering modern amenities, bunk suites for group stays and community stewardship programs, making it a natural home base for travelers celebrating with friends.
