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.”

Very enjoyable stay in every way.

Location- right by the beach and close to restaurants and shops. Beautiful rooms with character features such as white shutters giving a nautical theme. Photos in booking.com don’t do them justice. Fantastic customer service- we felt looked after. Lovely setting with beautiful gardens. Good restaurants on site. Would definitely recommend and return.

Expensive. Hawaiian music from 5pm everyday went on a little too long. Would have preferred a variety of music in the evenings. But this is a small niggle.

The location of the property is amazing and the staff at both hotel and the on-property restaurants is incredible. They are friendly and super professional. Beautiful setting and grounds. We had breakfast both mornings at Orchids and the food was excellent. Servers here are incredible and always make sure your coffee cup is full :)

We didn't have a lot of time to use the facilities, but we did walk around and I thought the beach was not much of a beach so I'm glad I wasn't counting on enjoying it.

the bathroom, the service is extraordinary, especially the service OMG. When you check in they walk you to elevator, have a tablets for you to browse all your needs during the stay and u can order stuff thru it. I needed a nail trimmer really bad and they have it on it to order and its free ofc. I feel like if u ever need anything they will do their best to fulfill it. There’s also 2 prepared papayas and a whole champagne bottle (for honeymoon) for us. Comes with a letter in the envelop with my name on it. The attention to details is insane.

wish there’s more amenities but it’s fine

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.

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.

Lovely but expensive

Loved the pool and our room. Was a bit disappointed in the Sunday Brunch. A fresh fruit selection (larger than what was there) and pancakes and French toast would have been nice. Prices are exorbitant but unfortunately that seems to be everywhere in Hawaii unfortunately

The pool and sitting in the deck chairs. The rooms were very comfortable as well.

Best luxury hotel in Waikiki - a mid-century style paradise with incredible pool area, spacious room

This is hands down the nicest hotel in Waikiki/Honolulu - others simply do not compare for the luxury experience. The size of even the smallest rooms is ample, with a luxury bathroom and super comfortable beds, sitting area, and balcony. The drinks at the pool bar and the breakfasts and views, as well as the public spaces, and the beautiful pool itself, are all unbeatable. This is a great place to escape screaming children and crowds and have a civilized, elegant Hawaiian vacation without traveling to an outer island.

Sound insulation in the room was actually rather poor, which became a problem about two nights into our stay when a noisy guest moved in next door. There was also some strange noise coming from upstairs. Orchids restaurant is not as good for dinner as it used to be - the 'Italian-Hawaiian' theme is not a great one.
