After a recent stay at this once luxurious property, there are a few key points that stand out from my experience. 1. The name, Halekulani, means befitting Heaven in the Hawaiian language. That name clearly no longer applies. Pergatory, perhaps, but it has lost its cutting edge and is resting on its laurels whilst other local boutique and luxury hotels... more

I have tralleved the world and been lucky to stay at number of 5 star, Leading and SLH hotels and I can honestly say that we experienced the best service ever. The staf have a excellent balance of being sincere and friendy without giving 'over service'. Also I had the best massage of my life. more

Just returned from a long weekend and my very first stay at the Halekulani. I have been to Hawaii many times and often went for drinks and sunset in this beautiful setting. We had a great time, the service is wonderful and of course the location is spectacular. Our only slight disappointment is that the rooms are getting a bit... more

Halekulani stands on the best part of Waikiki and all the best Honolulu can offer You, will be found just around the corner. Very nicely decorated hotel: very elegant, yet relaxed. The hotel staff members will make every effort to ensure that your stay is a most comfortable one. Enjoying breakfast at this hotel is a true pleasure whether You... more

I attended a wedding at the Halekulani in 2007, and knew when I came back I had to stay here! It was everthing I expected and more. The staff was always helpful and easy to find, restraunts were excellent. Sunday brunch is not to be missed. The pool was just right temp, could go to beach if needed. Will be... more

We stayed at the Halekulani for 6 nights for the first part of our trip to Hawaii (15-21 Sept). Having arrived after 24 hours of travelling from the UK, the hotel was the nicest surprise and we were promptly given a bottle of champagne when we mentioned we were getting married whilst staying there. All of the staff were friendly,... more

Just returned from our trip. The hotel is truley a little gem located in the kaos of Waikiki. It is quite and peaceful and the staff is very service oriented. It was a 5 star expereince for me. The pool staff was great , the resturants were all fantastic with great wait staff.... if I return to Hawaii ... it... more

This hotel caters near exclusively to the Japanese. To our surprise, we are one of a handful of American couples there. The menus heavily reflect Japanese cuisine. Even the light switches in the rooms were at a height for those shorter in stature. Place was way too pricey for their aging structures. Pool has not changed in over twenty years.... more

Talk about service with a smile. It's difficult for me to find fault with any aspect of our stay. We booked for 3 nights before and 3 nights after our NCL Hawaiian cruise, but the Halekulani was the high point of our entire vacation. Meals in La Mer and Orchids and HWAK (House Without a Key) were outstanding. The hula... more
