Many brides dream of slipping into a Vera Wang gown on their wedding days. Now, they can spend a Hawaiian honeymoon in her hotel suite.

The Halekulani resort in Waikiki on June 1 formally opened the Vera Wang Suite, the first fashion designer-branded suite in Hawaii.

Sleeping in Wang-designed splendor isn’t cheap. The 2,135-square-foot, one-bedroom suite costs $4,000 a night. It is one of the priciest hotel rooms in Hawaii. State hotel and excise taxes for the suite alone are about $450 a night.

“It’s for a very worldly, sophisticated consumer, where quality, taste, originality, and comfort are the most important criteria for which they base a hospitality experience,” said Peter Shaindlin, chief operating officer of Halekulani Corporation.

Ms. Wang is among a growing number of big-name designers to enter the hotel industry. Giorgio Armani is teaming up with a Dubai-based company to launch a collection of luxury hotels around the world. Spanish clothing chain Camper has a hotel in Barcelona. Bulgari has hotel in Milan and plans to open another next year in Bali. The Versace name is on an Australian hotel, and the Ferragamo designers own hotels in Italy. The second-floor oceanfront suite offers sweeping views of Diamond Head, an extinct volcano that is Hawaii’s most famous landmark. Guests can hear the sound of rolling waves outside.

One of the highlights is the 642-foot lanai, a Hawaiian-style verandah, which overlooks Waikiki Beach and is larger than many apartments in Honolulu.

All meals are served with Vera Wang china, crystal, and flatware, and the menu includes some of Ms. Wang’s favorite comfort foods. The decorative pillows use fabric from Wang’s apparel.

Among the complimentary services and goods included in the price are a bottle of champagne, a 24-hour butler, limousine transportation to and from the airport, and a full bar.
