There’s no shortage of opulent resorts and spas around the islands, and, now, Waikiki adds its first 284-room luxury boutique hotel (set to open in October), Halepuna Waikiki by Halekulani, to the running. While the hotel’s pristine ocean views and Champalimaud-designed interiors draw our eyes, its the hotel’s charming full-service casual dining hot spot that has us booking reservations midsentence. The debut Halekulani Bakery & Restaurant sources its ingredients from Hawai‘i’s abundant indigenous ingredients with a sweet and savory selection of pastries, cakes and artisan breads on its locally inspired menu. Crafted to perfection by a baker helming from the renowned Imperial Hotel Tokyo, these delicious treats are guaranteed to keep you coming back time and time again. And we’ll be right there alongside you. 2233 Helumoa Road, 921.7272
