Halekulani (var. Halekūlani) is an oceanfront luxury hotel located on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. Built in 1984, it contains 453 rooms in five buildings on 5 acres (20,000 m2) of property.
The name Halekūlani is a combination of Hawaiian words (hale + kū + lani) meaning "House Befitting Heaven". It is commonly spelled "Halekulani" without the macron (kahakō).
There are three restaurants on the property – House Without a Key, Orchids, and La Mer. It is also the home of SpaHalekulani and the Lewers Lounge.
The hotel is a member of both The Leading Hotels of the World and Imperial Hotel, Ltd., marketing and trade associations geared toward luxury hotels.
Halekulani has received numerous awards, including a World's Best 2005 award from Travel & Leisure magazine. It received Four Stars from Mobil Travel Guide and a AAA Four Diamonds rating.
The hotel is currently owned and operated by the Japanese company Mitsui Fudosan. It brought luxury hospitality executive Peter Shaindlin to Hawaii as CEO of the Halekulani Corporation, overseeing the hotel. The hotel's boutique sister property, Halepuna Hotel Waikiki, is located across the street.
The current structure replaced an original building designed by C.W. Dickey, and built in 1931.
