Halekulani
Hotels and Resorts Corporation owns and manages two hotels in
Waikiki - the luxurious Halekulani and the more moderately priced
Waikiki Parc Hotel. While the two properties are distinct in
character and location, they maintain the unique special care
and comfort of the Hotels & Resorts of Halekulani. The Corporation
has a tradition of luxury and legendary service for discriminating
travelers.
Halekulani,
meaning “House Befitting Heaven” in Hawaiian, is
the older of the two hotels and has been accommodating discriminating
travelers to Waikiki Beach since 1917. It was in that year that
Clifford and Juliet Kimball purchased a residential hotel owned
by Robert Lewers, which consisted of a beachfront home and five
bungalows. For three years they ran it the way it was till the
late 1920’s when they tore down the old Lewers home and
replaced it with a mansion-like building. This Main Building
was designed by architect C.W. Dickey, who gave a unique design
to the roof. This unique feature, which came to be known as
Dickey roof, is a high pitched hip-roof, designed to catch the
cooling trade winds.
The
Kimballs gradually expanded the hotel to its Main Building and
37 one- and two-story bungalows located on five acres of prime
land. It soon became a luxurious resort and attracted wealthy
vacationers. After the death of the Kimballs, Halekulani was
first bought by the Norton Clapp family of Seattle, and then
by Mitsui Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. in 1981. The new
owners formed the Halekulani Corporation to run the hotel. They
refurbished the hotel and modernized it while retaining its
old spirit, and finally reopened it in 1984. Since then it has
maintained the reputation of being one of the world’s
top luxury resorts, renowned for its gracious hospitality, impeccable
service and fine cuisine.
Halekulani
has been ranked the # 3 hotel in the world for service in the
"Top 10 Overall" category and the # 1 hotel for service
in Hawaii in the "Top 10 Hawaii" category by the readers
of Travel & Leisure magazine in the publication’s
2004 World's Best Service Readers' Survey. It has also received
a rating of 97.55 out of a score of 100 in the surveyed properties
of the United States and Canada.
In
1987 the Waikiki Parc Hotel was built with the intention of
having a reasonably priced hotel to serve more travelers. Remodeled
in the year 2003, Waikiki Parc’s rates are known to offer
excellent value compared to other hotels offering the same services.
It is also the only breakfast inclusive hotel in Waikiki.
