Urban Honolulu STRs must post maximum occupancy per bedroom on the DPP-approved floor plan under ROH Sec. 21-5.730, with bedroom count caps for B&Bs.
ROH Sec. 21-5.730 requires each Urban Honolulu B&B and TVU to submit a floor plan showing guest bedrooms and their maximum occupancy, with the informational binder listing the approved limits. In Waikiki's studio and one-bedroom STR inventory, this effectively caps many units at two to four guests. B&Bs are limited to a small number of guest bedrooms to preserve residential character, and unpermitted conversions of lofts, dens, or lanais into sleeping rooms are not permitted. Fire and life-safety occupancy standards also constrain the maximums DPP will approve.
Exceeding posted occupancy, adding unpermitted sleeping rooms, or misrepresenting the floor plan to DPP can result in fines and registration revocation under Bill 41.
