Best Hotels in Hawaii
Halekulani
A refreshing tropical ambience sets the mood in a quiet setting along Waikiki's Gray's Beach.
Nestled along historic Gray’s Beach in Waikiki, Halekulani — which in Hawaiian means "House Befitting Heaven" — is widely known as one of the best hotels on the island. Once a private residential hotel estate, it was converted to a resort a century ago and has been a haven for travelers and residents alike since its humble beginnings in 1917. It is a favorite gathering spot for weddings, Sunday brunch, Mother’s Day, baby showers and other milestone events.
The property has 453 guest rooms and suites (most with ocean views), but you'd never know it's that large; the separate buildings are arranged around tranquil courtyards and gardens so that a feeling of intimacy and quiet pervades. The style here is fresh, reflecting the ocean setting, and accommodations include the one-of-a-kind, Asian-influenced Halekulani Suite with hand-selected design details and personalized butler and airport limousine services. Standard room perks are excellent, including deep soaking tubs, MP3 docking stations, 40-inch flat panel LCD HD-TVs and a minimum 500 square feet of space.
This beloved property provides beachfront exclusiveness, a spacious spa, a pool and deck, impeccable service and special touches like fresh fruit and twice-a-day housekeeping. House restaurant La Mer serves French cuisine with local influences, while Orchids offers casual al fresco dining. Shopping, entertainment and more are within easy walking distance.
Under the wellness header you get SpaHalekulani, which highlights the importance of rejuvenating the body, mind and spirit through immersive and exclusive seminars with renowned experts in the fields of beauty, health and wellness. Masterworks builds on the long-standing relationship the Halekulani has with the arts community in Honolulu through the "For You, Everything" program which provides VIP access to museums and historical establishments.
Considering the gracious setting and hospitality of this hotel with its commitment to an enriched lifestyle, it is easy to understand why it commands such guest loyalty.

Maui Brewing Co.
When we last visited the Maui Brewing Co.'s brew pub in Lahaina, we were thrilled to hear this small company was making plans to package and sell their handcrafted product on the open market. Visitors to Hawaii have long enjoyed this microbrew's quality, but now it is steadily growing its market off the island.
Maui Brewing Company Pineapple Mana
This is a light, crisp and easy-drinking beer that conjures images of relaxing amid a tropical breeze.
Pau Maui Vodka
When we think of vodka and pineapple, many good things come to mind: a tropical cocktail that combines the neutral spirit with pineapple juice, preferably served with a tiny umbrella; a pineapple-infused vodka; or biting into a pineapple that's been soaked in vodka for an adult tropical treat. But we never thought of vodka actually made from pineapple!
Island 808 Pineapple Orange Guava Vodka
Hailing from Hawaii, Island 808 Vodka is uniquely made with a pineapple base instead of potato or grain.
Maui Mojito
With hints of banana coming from the Maui rum, mixed with mint leaves, this mojito is a refreshing cocktail perfect for relaxing beachside.
