The Wedding Website of Frankie Franklin and Matt Hong
We’ve rounded up a mix of Waikiki hotels, from boutique spots to oceanfront resorts, to help with planning, but you’re welcome to book wherever feels right. Waikiki has tons of options and is the most convenient home base for wedding weekend events.

Flight

Honolulu International Airport

All traveling guests will fly into Honolulu International Airport (HNL). HNL is a major international hub with many flights arriving daily from cities across the U.S. and around the world. The airport is conveniently located about 9 miles from Waikiki, and getting to your hotel is simple by taxi, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), or shuttle services.

Shuttle

September 26, 2026 2:00 pm - 12:00 am

Turtle Bay is located on the North Shore of Oʻahu and is the closest hotel to the wedding venue (about 10 minutes away). It’s a beautiful place to stay if you want to be near the ceremony location and enjoy the quieter, more scenic side of the island. Please keep in mind that our welcome event will take place on the South Shore, so staying here will require driving down to Waikiki/Honolulu for those festivities.
