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. Meditative calm washes over you immediately as you step onto the lobby’s cool stone tiles. The design focuses on the blue Pacific, and the hubbub of Waikiki is walled away. There's no resort fee.
Peaceful rooms are equipped with comforts such as hi-tech entertainment centers, as well as deep soaking tubs and expansive lanai. Among the myriad touches, guests receive fruit and chocolates upon arrival. Eclectic luxury suites include one personally designed by Vera Wang. Find ultimate relaxation in the pampering Spa Halekulani. The hotel bar, House Without a Key, is one Waikiki's best.
