General description:.............................. (Back to top)

• This is one of the 2 hotels that has been rated 5 stars on and off over the years on the Island of Oahu. Like many traditional Waikiki Hotels, the original construction started many years ago with parts of the property developed as far back as 1920. The latest part of the development however was opened for business in 1984 and has remained unchanged ever since albeit with the logical continuos maintenance and renovation required in a property of this category.

What we like about this hotel:.............................. (Back to top)

• It is without a doubt one of the Waikiki Hotels that has the best service, from the Hotel operation to the restaurants and the stores.
• It is one of the few hotels located actually ON Kuhio beach (better known as Waikiki beach) and it is in a very desirable central location.
• It is located within the area recently developed by the Outrigger Hotels and Resorts under the name of Beachwalk project that promises to turn this formerly neglected area of Waikiki into an improved Hotel, shopping, dining and entertainment center.

What you may not like about this hotel:.............................. (Back to top)

• The beach in front of this hotel is almost non existent (no sand) so for many, paying for a "beachfront property" that has almost no beach in front of it it's a disappointment.
• The so called Waikiki Beachwalk project is still being finished and there are several properties within this sector that are being worked on, most noticeably the Outrigger Reef Hotel that sits right next to the Halekulani and that is undergoing a major renovation of the property.
• Within no more than 50 yards form the Halekulani hotel, the Trump Tower is under construction, this is a HUGE construction site that is not scheduled to be finished until 2009, it may be a good idea to stay away from the area until then since it is unclear the level of inconvenience that you will suffer because of the construction and those travellers that look for properties of this caliber normally have little tolerance for the kind of problems that a construction site of this magnitude, located so close to the hotel, can bring about.
• Based on your particular needs and the objective of your trip, this hotel may have other pros and cons that you should consider, call us at 808–394–2112 for more information.
