The Kahala Hotel & Resort

The Kahala Hotel & Resort is a legendary oceanfront destination along the shores of O‘ahu, known for its five-star service and gracious Hawaiian hospitality. Located within Honolulu’s luxurious Kahala district, The Kahala offers a tranquil hideaway along a secluded beachfront just 10 minutes away from bustling Waikīkī. Since opening in 1964, The Kahala has been Honolulu's most coveted social address, attracting world leaders, international royalty, titans of industry, musical icons, Oscar winners and more to their Hawaiian home-away-from-home. As a distinguished member of Leading Hotels of the World, The Kahala offers an unparalleled experience with 338 luxurious rooms, lush tropical gardens, a natural ocean-water lagoon with resident dolphins cared for by Dolphin Quest, five restaurants, The Kahala Spa and distinctly Hawaiian activities, all along the island’s most coveted stretch of beach.

The guest rooms and suites are generous in proportion and now luxuriously appointed with new furnishings, custom Frette linens, luxurious bath amenities, and 42 inch flat screen TVs. 'Kahala Chic' now means shades of tropical colors, tasteful art work and touches of luxe with a residential feel. Mountain View rooms, many with balconies, offer lush vistas. Oceanfront rooms delight the eye with panoramic views from Diamond Head to Koko Head Crater. Suites are a statement of space and style.

The resort's Spa Suites merges philosophies and techniques from around the world, embracing Hawaiian culture and traditional therapies. Guests are pampered with personalized signature treatments in an oasis of calm. The Kahala is home to six bottlenose dolphins in their own private lagoon, where one can be part of an up close and personal experience with the dolphins through the Dolphin Quest programs.

The Kahala also features three oceanfront restaurants. Hoku's, the award winning signature restaurant, offers O‘ahu's most innovative dining in an oceanfront setting that is as relaxed as the islands and as elegant as the cuisine. Hoku's (meaning "star" in Hawaiian) serves dinner and Sunday brunch prepared in an open kitchen.

The Kahala's Plumeria Beach House is located beach-level for spectacular viewing of sand and surf. Plumeria Beach House is renowned for its breakfast buffet, a la carte lunches and weekend nightly buffets. The Seaside Grill features a selection of casual dishes for lunch. The Veranda has views of the Dolphin Lagoon and serves afternoon tea, followed by cocktails and snacks in the evening.

The Kahala is the perfect resort wedding destination, providing breathtaking backdrops for ceremonies and receptions. It is also the perfect meeting place with its unique theme breaks and receptions.
