Three Hawaii hotels and one Honolulu restaurant have been awarded five stars in the annual Forbes Travel Guide, formerly known as the Mobil Guide.
The five-star hotels are the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, and Trump International Hotel Waikiki Beach Walk, while the isles’ only five-star restaurant is La Mer at Halekulani.
Halekulani is among seven Hawaii hotels awarded four stars, while five Hawaii restaurants spread across the islands and seven spas also made their respective four-star lists.
The stars are awarded by professional inspectors who evaluate a property based on 500 criteria.
