Fodor's Expert Review Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani

This high-rise boutique property offers the same outstanding service and attention to detail as its elegant sister hotel, the Halekulani, but without the beachfront location and higher prices. Only rooms on upper floors have ocean views, but all rooms feature lanai, modern furnishings, sleek bathrooms, and upscale amenities. The sundeck, with an infinity pool, sun beds, and a full-service bar, is a sanctuary eight floors up. Check out the street-level Halekulani Bakery and Restaurant, and visit the spa at the Halekulani across the street. Note, too, that your key card allows complimentary admission to several Honolulu museums.
