EXTRAORDINARY COCKTAILS BY THE SEA

Earl’s at House Without A Key

Introducing Earl’s, our new pool bar located within the iconic House Without A Key, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head.

Named in honor of Earl Derr Biggers, the acclaimed 20th century novelist who wrote “House Without a Key” while vacationing in Hawaii,  Earl’s features extraordinary cocktails by the sea, reminiscent of Hawaii’s golden age of travel.  Exciting new creations include the Coconut Cake Martini, inspired by the hotel’s signature Coconut Cake, Earl’s Daiquiri, the Sweet Persea, a “spirit-free” avocado-based cocktail, and of course our signature Mai Tai.

In addition, House Without A Key’s Chef Jarrin Otake has created a new re-imagined health-conscious menu, emphasizing locally produced products, fresh island fish selections, and freshly baked flat breads using the new rotary brick oven created in Italy, exclusively for Halekulani.

For Ernest Hemingway fans, be sure to reserve Table 97 – a specific table near the ocean showcasing views of Diamond Head that the legendary author would frequent during his stays at Halekulani in the 1940s.

COCKTAILS

Author of "House Without A Key"

Earl Derr Biggers

Earl Derr Biggers was an acclaimed 20th century American novelist and playwright. His novel, House Without a Key, was written at Halekulani in 1925 with the first appearance of fictional Chinese American detective Charlie Chan, inspired by real life Honolulu police detective Chang Apana. A rare first edition of the 1925 novel will be on display to welcome guests at the namesake restaurant.

This literary thread continued when legendary novelist Ernest Hemingway honeymooned in Hawaii in the 1940s, and preferred a specific table overlooking the ocean and Diamond Head. This table is now distinguished as Table 97, available with advanced reservation.
