Halekulani Resort - Honolulu - Hawaii
 Halekulani, originally a private beachfront estate, has
been accommodating discriminating travelers to Waikiki Beach since 1917. The hotel's tradition of gracious hospitality prevails today in the same beachfront setting, impeccable service and fine cuisine which is world renowned. Recognized for its excellence in service.
The original Halekulani began in 1907 as a residential hotel called Hau Tree owned by Robert Lewers. It consisted of a beachfront home and five bungalows.
In 1917, Juliet and Clifford Kimball purchased the hotel, gradually expanded it and established it as a stylish resort for wealthy vacationers and named it Halekulani, which means “House Befitting Heaven.”
In the1930s, they tore down the old Lewers home and replaced it with a plantation mansion-styled Main Building with a high-pitched hip roof to catch the cooling trade winds. Also known as the “Dickey” roof, it is a trademark of Hawaii’s legendary architect C.W. Dickey.
Following the Kimballs’ passing, the Norton Clap family of Seattle bought Halekulani in 1962 with its Main Building and 37 one- and two-story bungalows and sold it in 1981 to Mitsui Fudosan(USA), Inc. which formed the Honolulu-based Halekulani Corporation. The hotel was then closed and the aging bungalows demolished.
Today, the historic Main Building has been restored and retained along with coconut palms and a century-old Kiawe tree in the 455-room Halekulani.
