Hawaiian Vacation Destination Hotels with Gorgeous Design

by todd harmon

Ah, the joys of summer! The heat is here, the surf is on, and of course, I am thoroughly researching my favorite aspect of summer: an awesome vacation! Among other destinations, I looked at Hawaii, which is tried and true stuff. Been there, done that. But something about Hawaii is always appealing.

"Something" about Hawaii is always appealing.

This time, however, instead of checking in to my trusted Oahu Hilton hotels (thank you, reward points!) or my “budget conscious” Best Western, I played around a bit looking at some of the – shall we say – “out of my league” resorts. Hawaii, a place of enchanting beauty, is also home to some of the finest and most celebrated hotels in the world. And, like all upper echelon resorts, these vacation hotspots feature rooms and interiors of exquisite design and startling visual stimuli.

The lovely Vera Wang Suite

Take, for instance, the Vera Wang luxury suites at the Halekulani Hotel in Honolulu. Personally designed by the eponymous fashion magnate and editor, the Vera Wang suite is a Honeymooner’s dream come true. It boasts contemporary furnishings of sweeping beauty and timeless majesty with a uniquely avant-garde flair that accentuates the very class, style, and out-of-the-box thinking that Vera Wang has become known for.

The suite is furnished with accessories and items from Vera Wang’s bridal collection, and also features a covered lanai that overlooks the beach. This is, by far, the be-all-end-all of romantic Hawaii destinations.
