The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani makes the airport end easy, and leaves the ship to you. Marriott lists an airport shuttle by reservation at $20 one way, and the hotel stores luggage, with an outdoor pool and cabanas, the Splash Bar and Throwback Alley on Kaiulani Avenue in central Waikiki.
Self-parking is $55 a day, or $7.50 an hour, with a 6 ft 6 in height limit and no valet. A resort fee applies, but the overview page we read doesn't print it, and pets aren't allowed.
Kyo-ya has long announced plans to redevelop the hotel; Marriott was taking bookings when we checked on October 2, 2026, so confirm it's open for your dates. Seventeenth on 26, it's about 3.7 miles from Pier 2 by road, our estimate.
Book the $20 shuttle in from HNL, and a cab to the pier the morning you sail.
