Expert reviews

Frommers review:

“This is one of Waikiki’s most luxurious hotels; its name means ‘house befitting heaven’. Of all the hotels in Waikiki, this one feels the most peaceful, abetted by lovely, personable service. It’s a true escape.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Hawaii.

CNN review:

“It’s known for opulent style, with the Halekulani Suite famously decorated by Vera Wang and the heated pool’s floor set with 1.2 million pieces of glass tile to form an orchid-shaped mosaic. Most rooms offer exclusivity — private gardens, plunge pool, butler, even interactive cooking lessons with a Halekulani chef.”

Forbes review:

“Located on the beach at Waikiki, Halekulani exudes an understated tropical elegance and exceptional service, making it unforgettable. Guest rooms are supremely sumptuous with deep soaking tubs and large lanais that temp you to laze the days away from the comfort of your accommodation.”

Lonely Planet review:

“Evincing modern sophistication, this family-owned resort lives up to its name, which means ʻHouse Befitting Heaven.’ It’s an all-encompassing experience of gracious living, not merely a place to crash.”

Fodors review:

“The luxurious Halekulani exemplifies the translation of its name—the “house befitting heaven”—and from the moment you step into the lobby, the attention to detail and impeccable service wrap you in privilege at this beachfront location away from Waikiki’s bustle.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Oahu, Hawaii.

Telegraph review:

“Venerable Halekulani celebrates its 100th anniversary in 2017, but it’s a far cry from its original five-cottage format offered at $6 (£5) a night. Today the five-star property’s two room towers, tropical interior lawn, Italian-glass tiled pool and seaside dining offer unmatched Waikiki luxury.”

Absolutely Marvelous!!!

An outstanding property, the room was fabulous, the amenities - superb! Upon arrival the gentleman who checked us in -Jay, was very professional, kind and efficient. He elaborated on the main features of the hotel and escorted us to our room. Lovely welcome amenity awaited us in the room and most certainly the room itself was immaculately clean, fresh and nicely appointed. The breakfast at House Without a Key and our Pool experience was also exceptional. The property has magnificent Ocean views that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Halekulani's location right on the Beach made access very easy and contributed to the joy of staying at the property! Guests have everything they need at their fingertips. Thank you Halekulani, what a memorable stay!!

My family and I absolutely loved everything about Halekulani and its staff. From the first moment we stepped into the hotel until our departure when the bell staff assisted us with our luggage and bid us Goodbye - everything was absolutely wonderful. Thank you Halekulani for an unforgettable stay!

Otherwise loved the experience as always

Unwelcoming attitude from one of the bartenders toward my husband - he was sceptical that my husband was a guest of the hotel and required him to prove his ID and room details before he would serve him a drink at the pool bar before dinner.

We really enjoyed it and planning to visit again.

Its so clean and have a good vibes. We likes the special touches they leave daily at the room. Loved the cookies and ice cream they were offering at tge pool.

No music at the pool. Its so boring Limited time for all the lounges and bars. Maximum to 9 or 11 pm. The price is highly expensive. The problem that we have solved at 4 am last night it was disaster. To our room and two other rooms. But thanks God the agent who compensated for us

Great experience for any purpose

Literally everything. 99% of the employees are super friendly and helpful. The view is great, and the lobby didn’t have any other tourist attractions (ABC stores, travel agencies, etc) that would attract outside tourists in the resort. In this case, mostly only whoever stays in the hotel would be found in the hotel, less crowded. With former experiences stayed somewhere else and got charged overpriced room water, we didn’t know all the bottle water/tea in the room are complimentary. That’s a great plus and hopefully everyone comes later will enjoy them better. Highly recommend anyone came here for honeymoon, we read about it from Google review and we are happy we stayed here for our whole time in Honolulu. The views, restaurants, and room service are great. We love the coconut cake and virgin piña colada. We heard about the Orchid Sunday brunch buffet on our way to the hotel form our Uber driver, and don’t forget make a reservation if you’d like to be there. Many thanks to Jane, Donna, John, Justin, and Gordon helped us during our stay.

Some other guests made some noise. Mostly are understandable/bearable, some are too much to understand.

Fabulous

Everything was perfect!

I would say that in the morning it does get a bit loud with the delivery trucks coming in and out. It didn't ruin the experience for me since it's needed. It was just very noticeable from where our room was.
