Marriott's Waikiki Collection of resorts, including the Royal Hawaiian, Moana Surfrider, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani and the Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort, launched a mai tai crawl. Called the Mai Tai Express, the experience is available all this year as part of Marriott's Stay at One, Dine at All program, which lets guests sign restaurant checks to their room at any of the resorts, no matter which one they are staying at.

The Waikiki Collection said the cocktail crawl encourages "guests to explore the unique culinary identities of four iconic properties throughout all of 2026."

"With the Royal Hawaiian being the birthplace of the Hawaiian-style mai tai, this program is the perfect way for travelers to navigate Honolulu's most historic bars."

Upon check-in, guests receive a "train ticket" for the crawl, which highlights the participating restaurants at the four properties. Cocktails available to sample include the Moana Surfrider's Moana sunset mai mai, Sheraton Princess Kaiulani's alii mai mai, the Royal Hawaiian's Vic's 44 mai tai and Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort's The Castaway mai tai.
