Concierge "Halekulani's little-sister property, this 297-room tower isn't beachfront... and has no grounds to speak of. What it does have is terrific bang for your buck."
Fodor's "The guest rooms in this high-rise complex have modern minimalist furnishings but give a nod to the tropics by keeping plantation-style shutters that open out to the lanai." Full review

"This well-priced boutique hotel appeals to foodies and families." Full review
Lonely Planet "From the moment you enter the elegant lobby, the Parc exudes an urban (and urbane) vibe." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Although it’s not on the beach, it is the sister of the luxurious Halekulani across the street. The level of service is the same at a much lower price."
Star Service "Located across the street from its stellar sibling Halekulani and a two-minute walk from the beach, this is a trendier pocket-size version of its neighbor." Full review
Gayot "Tucked in back of the gigantic Sheraton Waikiki hotel, this property was recently gutted and redone with new elegant trimmings with a chic and modern theme."
Frommer's "This hotel is a great Waikiki secret, designed for the 20s-to-30s crowds." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The Halekulani’s sister hotel lies just across the street from its (much more) expensive sibling." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Offers stunning guestrooms and suites, as well as amenities that include guaranteed early check-in and late check-out, complimentary breakfast at Halekulani Bakery and Restaurant"
