Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

10 of the Most Anticipated U.S. Hotel Openings of 2019 - AFAR

"A transformation of a long-standing Waikiki property into a boutique offering managed by the same team as an iconic nearby resort, this waterfront hotel brings toned-down five-star sensibilities through interiors with teak finishes, natural palettes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and museum-partnered artwork. The 288 rooms and suites complement an eighth-floor pool deck and bar with panoramic views, fitness facilities, a lobby-level restaurant with an open kitchen and outdoor seating, and a dedicated chocolate kitchen for crafted sweets." - Sandra Ramani
