With an abundance of nearby restaurants, easy access to one of the world’s largest shopping malls, and just a short stroll to the beach, visitors can enjoy everything Honolulu has to offer, including breathtaking sunset views.

What sets The Equus apart is its deep connection to O‘ahu’s North Shore. The ownership company also manages a stunning 100-acre beachfront property on the North Shore, home to the Hawai‘i Polo Club. Guests of The Equus are invited to explore this unspoiled stretch of paradise, where they can partake in polo matches, polo lessons, and scenic trail rides. Whether it’s a day of riding, picnicking, swimming, or beachcombing, a visit to this sister property offers a true escape into Hawaii’s natural beauty.

The hotel proudly participates in initiatives such as TripAdvisor’s Green Leader’s Program, Ocean Friendly Restaurants Hawai’i, and is certified by the Hawaii Green Business program. Additionally, The Equus is a partner of Kind Traveler, ensuring guests have peace of mind knowing their stay is both luxurious and environmentally conscious.
