Location. With views that resemble poetry, the Halekulani Resort rests on Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, like a calm cloud. Drive time is only 25 minutes from the Honolulu International Airport to the Halekulani Hotel Resort, which translates as "house befitting heaven." Guests are greeted upon arrival, and immediately escorted into select rooms, where arrangements are finalized in privacy. Countless marriage ceremonies are performed at Halekulani, while many more honeymooners choose to love and cherish each other at this hotel resort on the beautiful island of Oahu, which appropriately means "the gathering place." With photographers close on their heels, and housekeepers leaving haiku poems on their pillows, newlyweds take center stage at Waikiki's premier vacation destination.
Hotel Features. A simple glance from virtually any window on the property will render images of Diamond Head, the world's most famous volcanic crater. Guests can relax amid lounge chairs, palm trees and pool attendants on the spacious outdoor sundeck, or contact the concierge, who can arrange activities such as outrigger canoe rides, surfing, snorkeling, deep- sea fishing and windsurfing. The fitness center offers top-of-the- line equipment and regularly scheduled aerobic workouts, while the Spa Halekulani offers a full menu of massage treatments and herbal remedies that span from relaxing lavender-orchid to an anti- aging papaya-pineapple experience.
Guestrooms. The 455 guestrooms, featuring soft earth-tones and delicate beach wood, were designed with the utmost attention to comfort and style. Guests will experience luxury first-hand as they feel the rich textured carpet patterns beneath their feet, or drift away in deep soaking bath tubs. Private balconies are featured in each guestroom, and were designed so guests can enjoy the beauty of Halekulani.
Expert Tip. Comprised of 1.2 million French mosaic tiles, the hotel's signature Orchid Pool confidently overlooks the crowded Waikiki Beaches and offers guests a private alternative to swimming in the Pacific.
