Oahu's Finest
A Heavenly Experience
On the Shores of Waikiki

The exterior of the Halekulani Hotel

To stay at the Halekulani Hotel—which in Hawaiian means "House Befitting Heaven"—is to be a treasured guest in the home of a good friend who is a gourmet chef, mixes great cocktails and has a fabulous swimming pool and beach. This friend also owns a world-class spa and caters to your slightest whim. Oh, the friend also happens to have a Vera Wang lifestyle boutique where you can pick up a perfect bauble, a crystal Champagne flute or a piece of fine lingerie to wear while lounging about the one-of-a-kind Vera Wang suite.

The Halekulani Hotel, a 456-room experience on the shores of Waikiki, has been a haven for travelers and residents (for big occasions like weddings) alike since its humble beginnings in 1917. The alterations and upgrades over the years have remained true to its essence of refined elegance and gracious service. In addressing the changing interests and needs of guests, the Halekulani has introduced the concept of "Halekulani Living," a luxury series of initiatives including Connoisseurs, Wellness and Masterworks—all designed to enrich guests' experiences. Connoisseurs offers wine events featuring noted vintners and tastings; cooking lessons with talented chefs from the hotel's three restaurants, House Without a Key, Orchids and the famed La Mer; and cocktail seminars with master mixologist Dale DeGroff.
