The Restaurant at Halekulani Hotel

"Each of Halekulani’s three restaurants offers its own distinct style amid stunning views of the sea"

"One of the island's best hotels, with 456 large, luxury-packed rooms, top restaurants with gorgeous views, a notable spa, fastidious service, and a former Miss Hawaii dancing the hula nightly"

"The hotel’s restaurants, La Mer, Orchids, and House Without a Key, are considered some of the best on the island"

"House restaurant La Mer serves French cuisine with local influences, while Orchids offers casual al fresco dining"

"The century-old "grand lady" is still considered the "best hotel in Waikiki" – maybe "the world"– to some, and "lives up to its name" ("house befitting heaven") in a "romantic" beachside location in the middle of the "hum and bustle of Waikiki" that feels like a "cocoon of tranquility"; it's "expensive" but for "good reason": a "stunning" sunset setting, "unparalleled" service, "comfortable" rooms (each with a large lanai), "beautiful" beachfront pool, "awesome" restaurants – yes, this is "heaven in Honolulu"

"The only structure remaining from the original hotel is the skylighted 1917 building where the superb La Mer restaurant perches above the Lewers Lounge"
