Unwind at a hip Waikiki hotel for $229 per night, from now until December 20. Rates at this rarely discounted 4-star hotel are normally $597 per night for these rooms with full ocean views.

Enjoy a handcrafted cocktail while soaking in views of the marina at the "sunrise pool" complete with chaise lounges and daybeds. Or relax by the adults-only "sunset pool" surrounded by lush gardens and lit with candles and lanterns at night.

The Modern Honolulu features many unique amenities such as a bookshelf near the concierge desk that rotates midday to reveal a swanky lounge area and bar. The marina-front hotel sits less than half a mile from Waikiki Beach and the upscale shopping district of the Ala Moana Center.

Note: Sprawl out in a 665-square-foot one-bedroom oceanview suite for $399 per night.
