The luxury concept Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani debuted on the Island of Oahu, Hawaii, as the first hotel of its kind in the Waikiki neighborhood. Executed by the collaboration of Champalimaud Design and Honolulu-based Anbe Aruga & Ishizu Architects, the multi-million project sleekly embraces the ethereal qualities of land and water, showcasing refined elements inspired from its wonder-of-nature setting.
Spaces like the open lobby, where the Halekulani Bakery & Restaurant is also located, are lined with custom light fixtures, teak finishes, vaulted ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. In addition, the hotel’s public art program features commissioned contemporary art by the local artists, exhibited throughout the property.
Each of the elegant 284 accommodations frame the views of the Pacific Ocean, while punctuated with a restrained palette of white, gray, beige, and blue, along with custom artwork. The many amenities of the new concept include a fitness studio, spa, vitality pool and cabanas on its eighth floor, attached to a private garden.
