The Jetsons Sunset Penthouse - Iconic Birds Nest - Urban Retreat Honolulu

Why rent a room when you can rent a vibe?

With over 900 sq ft of thoughtfully designed space, the Jetsons Sunset Penthouse feels more like three studio apartments sharing a stunning, pie-shaped layout with nearly 400 sq ft of wraparound lanai. Originally part of a swanky urban hotel, it still holds that iconic “Old Hawai‘i” charm — now paired with sleek, modern upgrades.

Each of the two primary guest rooms is a self-contained suite with its own ensuite bath and private entry, separated by a stylish open-concept living area and chef’s kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling sliders open onto the breezy lanai, perfect for entertaining, lounging, or simply soaking in the skyline and fireworks.

The fully equipped kitchen features a bespoke full-size fridge, electric stove with built-in air fryer, hidden drawer-style dishwashers, and a complete coffee station. Dine outdoors at the weatherproof picnic table and catch sunset cocktails or sunrise coffee — or both. Why choose?

Brand-new triple-zone split A/C minis let each guest control their comfort independently, or enjoy natural trade winds through vintage jalousie windows. Every room includes floor-to-ceiling motorized blackout curtains for comfort and privacy.

Flexible Use Options

This stylish penthouse is located in a unique mixed-use building — legally designated for hotel, residential, and business use. Sounds cool, right? We think so too. But thanks to some ever-evolving (and often confusing) local regulations, we’ve added this friendly disclaimer to keep everything crystal clear:
• Staycations – For stays of 30+ days, you’re welcome to use the space for living, working, or a blissful blend of both.
• Workations – For shorter visits, this space is reserved for business use: think remote work, creative production, corporate retreats, or “strategic” friend meetings over wine and whiteboards.

Luxury stays, for working days — or anything in between.

Rather than get tangled in bureaucracy, we’ve chosen to embrace the full potential of this space. We’re also launching a curated Work/Play/Stay Collection with Luxe-Nesting to reimagine how guests experience mixed-use destinations.

By booking, you acknowledge your intended use aligns with these allowed uses and supports responsible hosting in Hawai’i’s evolving hospitality landscape.*

Privacy + Convenience

Each suite features a private smartlock entry, ensuite bath, and floor-to-ceiling sliders for direct lanai access — creating a uniquely private setup in a beautifully shared space.
