Once part of an island paradise, Waikiki is now crowded and commercialized. Yet standing guard over part of Waikiki stands Halekulani, a tranquil oasis that ranks as one of the island's most romantic destinations.
The sleek luxurious building that forms the heart of . Halekulani was built around the original historic 1931 building that began the Halekulani tradition of excellence. Not surprisingly, the resort offers the usual array of water sports, but what really sets this hotel apart is its attention to detail.
Excellent service is the cornerstone of the Halekulani experience. It all begins with the hotel's in-room check-in service that allows you to avoid annoying lines in the lobby. Once checked-in, you'll notice that your wood and marble room has a lanai, sitting area, bathrobes, and many other amenities that add to your stay. For extra romance, request a room overlooking nearby Diamond-head.
Halekulani's attention to detail carries over to the hotel's restaurants. Anchoring these restaurants is the elegant La Mer, one of the world's most romantic dining spots. Less formal is the beautiful Orchids restaurant, while House Without a Key offers oceanside dining. At all three, you will be treated to not only fine food but the attentive and knowledgeable service that makes Halekulani special.
