Halekulani (var. Halekūlani) is an oceanfront luxury hotel corporation headquartered on Waikiki Beach in Honolulu, Hawaii. The current hotel was built in 1984, and contains 453 rooms in five buildings on 5 acres (20,000 m2) of property.
The name Halekūlani is a combination of Hawaiian words (hale + kū + lani) meaning "House Befitting Heaven". It is commonly spelled "Halekulani" without the macron (kahakō).
The hotel and corporation has been owned and operated by the Japanese company Mitsui Fudosan since their purchase and subsequent redevelopment of the historic property in 1981.
Halekūlani hired luxury hospitality executive Peter Shaindlin as COO in 2003. He has overseen continual improvements to the brand, as well as construction of a second Halekūlani hotel on Okinawa Island, Japan, in 2019. Additionally, the corporation acquired the boutique Waikiki Parc hotel across the street, and has rebranded it as Halepuna Hotel Waikiki.
Mitsui also owns the Imperial Hotel group in Japan and their half-dozen properties serve as hotel partners to the Halekūlani properties in Hawaii and Okinawa.
