I analysed every hotel before booking and given the cost I wanted to be sure I’d be happy… wow what an oasis, you are in your own world. Staff were amazing - from Alfredo by the pool, to John and Marisha at breakfast to the lovely check in staff and house keeping they are all so pleasant and courteous. Close to everything but quiet too. Surreal to have experienced such a hotel. Thank you.

We loved our stay here! We stayed for 4 nights for a total of 5 days, and we brought our little ones with us. The thoughtfulness and service provided at this hotel was one of a kind! The staff were very nice and accommodating, and the hotel rooms were clean and spacious. We really enjoyed the oceanfront view and the time spent relaxing at the lanai - hearing the music and the sound of the ocean. The location is amazing, the center of Waikiki and walking distance to the Hawaiian Royal Center. My kiddos enjoyed the pool and miss this hotel already. We can't wait to come back!

We travelled as a couple and had a recent three night stay at the legendary Halekulani. Elegant, restrained, peaceful, oceanfront property with beautiful views and luxury hospitality. Rooms are large and spacious and extremely comfortable. The staff are warm and welcoming and you can tell many have worked on the property for years. The Mai Tai at the Halekulani exemplifies the heritage of the property, proudly being made the traditional way with plenty of lime and is definitely the best in all of Hawaii. Hawaii is the most magical place and the Halekulani is the perfect hotel to enjoy your time there.

If excellence in all areas is your goal Halekulani is the only place to stay. After 30 plus years it is still the gold standard.

Second stay in three years. Love this place. Very relaxing atmosphere. Very accommodating staff. Nice quiet retreat from the noise of Waikiki. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for. Highly recommend

We just returned from five nights at the Halekulani in Honolulu and it was incredible. The hotel, food, service and staff were wonderful… From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, the staff could not do enough for us.

I have traveled to the Hawaiian islands many times and stayed in fine hotels on five Hawaiian islands, but never in all my experience have I encountered such remarkable guest service, hospitality, warmth, and consistent excellence that at Halekulani. At all times, guests are greeted by name by everyone. Any guest request or preference is accommodated immediately, and noted for the future. We were treated like celebrities... This hotel, from start to finish, is simply a class act.

We are accustomed to staying in luxury accommodations, yet the beauty of the Halekulani hotel was breathtaking. We were stunned by the warm, outstanding service. No effort was too great to assure our comfort!! Our every desire was satisfied. We were positively delighted by the romance and perfection of La Mer restaurant and the outrageous pampering spa services we received.

My wife and I this past December, 2004, stayed at the Halekulani Hotel in Hawaii. The trip was wonderful. The hotel was beautiful and serene, and the service at the hotel was unlike any we have experienced. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Halekulani, which means “house befitting heaven,” truly wears its name well. It was outstanding. The service was impeccable and the amenities more than satisfying. This truly was an unforgettable wonderful experience, from start to finish.
