The oceanfront Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel opened in 1901, and it was the first true resort to rise on what quickly became the world's most famous beach. Today, after an award-winning restoration, this "Grande Dame" of Waikiki hotels appears in her original turn-of-the- century splendor, along with ample modern enhancements. Guests also have access to the facilities at any Waikiki's four Sheraton hotels. Guests at the Sheraton Moana Surfrider are invited to enjoy dining, entertainment, and all facilities - except swimming pools - at the other hotels while simply charging services to their rooms.

The oceanfront Sheraton Moana Surfrider Hotel offers 793 spacious rooms and suites spread over three buildings - the historic Banyan Wing, the Diamond Wing, and the Tower wing. All rooms are air-conditioned and include high-speed Internet access via cable TV and video game consoles. Other features include refrigerator, makeup mirror, and bathrobes. The Sheraton Moana Surfrider features three onsite restaurants, including the Banyan Veranda, which is famed for its high tea, as well a sunset buffet and a Sunday brunch. The other options are a Café and a Grill, both located on the beachfront. Room service is offered 24 hours. The Sheraton Moana Surfrider's open-air Banyan Court, in an agreement with Salem Media, will be presenting monthly concerts that will be simulcast on www.breezeofhawaii.com with a link to the hotel's live webcam. The 24-hour webcam will be focused on the courtyard stage for the duration of the concerts. The concerts will continue into 2005 every second Thursday of the month.
