Antonia Bennett will perform two nights of holiday-themed sets at Lewers Lounge inside the Halekulani in Waikiki this weekend. The daughter of Tony Bennett is scheduled for two shows each evening, featuring jazz standards, seasonal songs, and selections from her recent albums. These performances mark part of her ongoing solo career following her father’s passing in 2023.
Halekulani’s event listing states that the Live at Lewers engagement runs Friday and Saturday, with sets at 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tickets are $125 per person, which includes tax, gratuity, and one drink, according to the hotel. Doors open 30 minutes before each show, seating is first come, first served, guests must be 21 or older, and reservations are required. For ticketing, the hotel advises calling the lounge or using its online booking system.
Bennett told Hawaiʻi Public Radio that she remembers performing as a child with her father, singing songs like “The Hokey Pokey” and “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” The Conversation segment notes that she performed with Tony Bennett for decades before focusing more on solo work following his death in 2023. Her Lewers Lounge set combines elements of her father’s style with her own material, with the HPR piece highlighting the personal connection reflected in her holiday song selections.
New recordings, classic feel
Bennett has been touring in support of Expressions, an album released in mid-2025 that mixes original songs with Great American Songbook standards, according to her official site. Her holiday album, Happy Holidays With Love, was released in December 2024. Hawaiʻi Public Radio describes Expressions as subtle, sincere, and deeply personal, a tone that carries into her holiday arrangements. These recordings provide new material for her performances while still reflecting the torch song style her father helped define.
Why Lewers?
Lewers Lounge is described as a dimly lit, classic cocktail-room setting that suits late-night listening and small ensembles, providing a backdrop for Bennett’s conversational jazz style, according to local listings and reviews. Third-party write-ups note the lounge’s intimate atmosphere, its nightly performances by accomplished musicians, and its old-school elegance. The space favors short, focused sets over larger productions, keeping the emphasis on the music.
Tickets can sell quickly, and Halekulani advises booking in advance while noting the 21-and-over policy, valet parking, and limited seating, according to the hotel. Reservations can be made by calling 808-518-2019 or through the hotel’s ticketing page. Bennett’s performances at Lewers offer a quietly festive evening with a set list that includes standards, seasonal songs, and selections from Expressions. Arriving early is recommended to secure a good seat.
