The wide selection of items including a carving station, omelet station and dessert station will satisfy even the most discerning of dining patrons. Be sure to reserve Table 97 – a specific table near the ocean, showcasing views of Diamond Head that the legendary author would frequent during his stay at Halekulani in the 1940s. Berg said the program won’t solve homelessness overall, but it’s another way to connect people with resources. According to Berg, some organizations give homeless people the option to fly or take the train to their loved ones. People who live in Hawaii, let alone move here, have struggled with the high cost of living.

Grehan adds that the signature Mai Tai is also a longtime bestseller, with more than 3,000 of these rum-infused beverages served each month at the hotel. Earl's, the new pool bar, is an homage to American novelist Earl Derr Biggars, who penned the first Charlie Chan mystery, "The House Without A Key" in 1925, at Halekulani. Testa, who hails from Genova, Italy, imported a state-of-the-art Italian brick oven that’s used for baking several specialties, including flatbreads with a variety of toppings. In addition to an updated look, executive chef Christian Testa, alongside chef de cuisine Jarrin Otake, has reimagined the menu.
Bringing Hawaii style to cuisine
Previously an unassuming service area, Earl's offers an ideal casual, oceanfront gathering spot for savoring craft cocktails and nibbling on light bites. Steps away is the serene and spacious swimming pool terrace, with the lovely orchid-tiled pool as the centerpiece. It was certainly a favorite spot for legendary author Ernest Hemingway, who honeymooned at Halekulani in 1940 with his new wife, famed journalist Martha Gellhorn. While dining here, they preferred a specific table near the ocean — table No. 97 — for its view of Diamond Head.

Jill Wright, director of philanthropy and community relations at the Institute for Human Services, said the program has reunited homeless people with families in Micronesia, American Samoa and Guam. It also sent people home to California, Oregon, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Missouri and Montana. This literary thread continued when legendary novelist Ernest Hemingway honeymooned in Hawaii in the 1940s, and preferred a specific table overlooking the ocean and Diamond Head.
All suites feature extra-large bathrooms with deep-soaking tub and a separate powder room in full-size suites, a walk-in closet, at least one private balcony and complimentary Wi-Fi.

However, she said it’s hard to track them if homeless individuals go by another name. Wright said homeless people are sought out through the shelter’s intake system and churches, adding that the program will only aid people to fly back home if they have a stable support system when they get there. The program has paid for half of the airfare to send 599 homeless people from Oahu to the mainland while families pay for the rest. Lee is one of the many people who became homeless in Hawaii while moving or visiting from the mainland. But a program focused on returning people to their home state has helped Lee return to his family.
