The Halekulani is one of Oahu’s premiere hotels on Waikiki Beach.  Built nearly 100 years ago, Halekulani is a destination for travelers around the world.  When locals hear Halekulani they think of fabulous spas, lavish weddings, 5 star restaurants, and big price tags.  Halekulani is home to Hawaii’s only 5 diamond restaurant, La Mer that will set you back about $100+ a person.  Orchids is also located within the hotel for wonderful fine dining, also with high prices.  If you want to experience Halekulani’s ambieance in casual attire, without breaking the bank you should visit the hotel’s informal indoor/outdoor restaurant, House Without a Key.

House Without a Key is open from 7 am to 9 pm for breakfast, lunch, appetizers, cocktails, and dinner.  This open-air retaurant welcomes casual attire and no need for reservations just walk-in.  Customers can dine in the restaurant or be seated in the more casual open outdoor area.  Daily from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm guests can drink cocktails, eat appetizers, and listen to live Hawaiian music in this outdoor seating area.  Everyday of the week features a different Hawaiian music band accompanied by a traditional hula performance.  The special performances take place under a 100 year old Kiawe tree the hotel treasures.  Guests flock in for this unique and complimentary daily performance, so come early to get a seat outside.

For out of towners I would recommend House Without a Key to experience Waikiki at its finest without paying the fine dining price.  For locals looking for a pau hana drink and to get away from the 9 to 5 hustle and bustle this is the place to go.  The sweet Hawaiian music will make you really feel like you are on vacation.   This causal setting is a great place to enjoy food, mai tais (best mai tais on the island, watch out their strong!), and breathtaking views of Waikiki Beach.
