ANNOUNCING NEW REPRESENTATION
Welcoming Halekulani
For over a century, Halekulani has epitomized gracious hospitality in Hawaii, living up to its name which means "house befitting heaven" in Hawaiian.
This luxury resort offers five oceanfront acres of pristine Pacific beach, an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Waikiki, Honolulu's world-famous neighborhood. Glistening blue vistas allow mind, body, and soul to fully escape, with views extending from crystal-clear waters out to Hawaii's national landmark, Diamond Head, which sits on the horizon.
At Halekulani, luxury isn't flashy – it's timeless and deeply felt. It's in the genuine warmth of the staff, the locally-sourced ingredients in world-class restaurants, and the sense of place that infuses every experience. We’re thrilled to welcome Halekulani into the Hidden Doorways Collection this month!
