Elite Traveler Spring 2020

Hale Nani Penthouse Mandarin Oriental, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Honolulu will have 99 total residences when completed in mid-2022, but it’s the Hale Nani Penthouse that exceeds them all — at time of publication, it is the most expensive residential listing in Honolulu. Spanning the entire 38th floor of the 418-ft tower, the Hale Nani Penthouse has unbeatable views over iconic sights like Diamond Head, the Pacific Ocean and the surrounding cityscape. The design and decor are so modern that you hardly feel like you’re in Hawaii, except for the exceptional vistas. The residence has a spacious lanai balony, plus a private elevator that takes you directly to your floor. Residents will have amenities exclusively for them, such as a ninth-floor pool terrace with private cabanas, and they’re steps from the hotel’s gourmet restaurants, spa and retail salon. $35m.
