Guest Testimonials

We live on Maui and travel to Honolulu for a change of pace. Halekulani and its staff blend the old-style Hawaiian aloha spirit while its location is near the heart of a more cosmopolitan experience expected in a big city. Beautiful views include Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. Fine food, service and accommodations meet the standards of the most critical of experienced travelers.”

“Now on the top of my favorite hotel list. The service is fabulous, facilities are fabulous, the room… fabulous. From the moment we walked into the hotel, we felt special and well looked after. Nothing was too much trouble for the wonderful staff. The location is excellent for sight-seeing, shopping and going out. Highly recommend this special place.”

SENSATIONAL, elegant hotel in prime location in Honolulu, Oahu. Attentive staff, gorgeous areas within the hotel to enjoy, a piano bar at night, a taste sensation at Orchids Restaurant. This hotel should be on your BUCKET LIST!”

Dining

We came from Maui for a 3-day getaway. As world travelers we can honestly say that the Halekulani is one of the most wonderful hotels we have ever stayed in! The location is amazing and of course the food but most of all… it is the warmth and professionalism of the staff.
“House Without A Key is one of our favorite places… not just in Hawaii but in the world. It feels like you are stepping back into old Hawaii with the tropical breezes and gentle music. We can’t wait to come back!”

Everything was soooo TASTY and ONO. The complimentary rye and sourdough bread and lilikoi bread roll were ALL yummy, moist in the middle but crispy on the outside.”

We dined at La Mer to celebrate our 47th anniversary, because our son and daughter in law had spent their honeymoon at Halekulani and had said it was the most elegant dining they had ever experienced. They were so right! The ambience, service and meal were the best and I can’t rate it high enough!”

SpaHalekulani

I can’t say enough about the world-class SpaHalekulani. From the moment you enter, you are given a sense of calm and well-being—the quiet elegance of the décor, the welcoming staff, and the highly trained professionals define the perfect spa experience.
“The spa’s offerings include everything expected of a luxury spa, plus experiences that were new to me, including a marvelous hair treatment that thoroughly cleanses and treats the scalp and hair. The facials are state-of-the-art, and the massage and reiki treatments are custom-tailored to my needs by highly experienced practitioners who know my body’s needs better than I do. The manicure and pedicure treatments are superb and deeply relaxing.
“The spa’s forward-thinking vision includes the use and sale of sustainable products, often made in Hawaii, and its luxurious, healing offerings play a big part in my regular visits to Halekulani.”
