Halekulani Corporation today announced additional details regarding the restoration of its iconic flagship, Halekulani, which has been closed since April of last year and will reopen on October 1, 2021. In order to preserve Halekulani's legacy as the hotel heads into its second century, the restoration has been both meticulous and wide-ranging, encompassing the hotel's physical infrastructure and public spaces, guest rooms and suites. The announcement was made by Peter Shaindlin, Chief Operating Officer of Halekulani Corporation.

Halekulani's unique architecture and exterior aesthetic has been painstakingly preserved, and the historic main building, including its trademark "Dickey Roof." The hotel's iconic gatehouse and porte-cochere have been revitalized to further enhance its welcoming aesthetic and spirit of aloha. Halekulani's public spaces will undergo an understated transformation inspired from Hawaii's rich cultural heritage and encompassing a holistic sense of renewal.

Halekulani's guest accommodations have been thoughtfully revitalized and designed, enhancing the property's signature "seven shades of white" aesthetic philosophy. Framing dramatic and expansive views of the majestic Pacific Ocean and the verdant, oasis-like grounds of the resort, the overarching theme of nature and blending the sea with the sky will offer a haven of elegance and serenity. New elements of warmth and texture will serve to enrich the design, infusing a sense of harmony and balance throughout. Wooden panels and cabinetry will be incorporated, as well as textured wall coverings and meticulously crafted furnishings to fuse the subtle influences of European, Hawaiian, and Asian cultures.
