Halekulani (Honolulu, HI)

Karin Hotel Review Beach, Craft Cocktails, Excellent Wine List, Fine Dining, Halekulani Hotel, Hawaii, Oahu, Patio Dining, Scenic Views, USA, Waikiki 0

Halekulani, the “House Befitting Heaven,” is aptly named. Located in Waikiki, the hotel overlooks majestic palms, a private strip of sandy beach, and then beyond into the endless stretch of the blue Pacific. Serenity washes over you at every turn at the recurring sight of native Hawaiin flowers and plants, and in the the welcoming rooms decorated in soothing, muted cream tones. The swaying sound of traditional Hawaiin music floats through the evening air from the lanai of House Without A Key, the hotel’s popular outdoor lounge. Comfort and serenity truly await in this corner of Hawaiin paradise.
