A complimentary deluxe continental breakfast is served daily from 7:00 to 9:30 AM, with Kona coffee or tea, fresh tropical fruit and baked goods. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel, and guests can borrow beach towels, chairs, mats, umbrellas and boogie boards, along with cooler bags and beach toys for kids.

How does the Ultimate Penthouse compare to the hotel's other room categories?
It sits at the top of the lineup at Vive Hotel Waikiki, offering meaningfully more square footage and a more residential feel than the standard guestrooms, while still including the same core in-room touches like the flat-screen TV, mini-fridge, and premium bedding found throughout the hotel.

Every stay includes a complimentary deluxe continental breakfast served daily from 7:00 to 9:30 AM with Kona coffee, fresh tropical fruit and baked goods, along with free beach gear (towels, chairs, umbrellas and boogie boards), a 24-hour lobby coffee and tea station, and a welcome beverage on arrival.
How far is the Ultimate Penthouse from the beach and Waikiki's restaurants and shops?
Vive Hotel Waikiki sits on Kūhiō Avenue, only about a 3 to 4 minute walk from Waikiki Beach, with the International Market Place and Royal Hawaiian Center also within easy walking distance for dining and shopping.
Is the Ultimate Penthouse on a quieter part of the hotel?
As the hotel’s top-floor, top-category room, the penthouse sits above the street-level energy of Kūhiō Avenue, giving it a more elevated, removed feel compared with lower-floor guestrooms closer to the action.
What should I know before booking the Ultimate Penthouse that isn't obvious at first glance?
Vive Hotel Waikiki doesn’t have an on-site pool or gym, so this category is best suited to guests happy to use the nearby beach and borrowed beach gear, or a paid pass to a nearby fitness facility, rather than travelers seeking resort-style pool amenities.
