Hotels across Hawaii have been revitalising themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic by carrying out renovations and refurbishments, as well as creating virtual experiences to keep would-be guests engaged.

Catch up on everything that’s been happening lately at some of Hawaii’s most popular properties below…

Kaanapali Beach Hotel

Kaanapali Beach Hotel has been tracking along nicely with its ‘Kealaula’ project, which aims to further enhance the establishment of Hawaiian culture throughout the property.

The property renaissance involves a number of transformative enhancements, including a significant redesign to Kaanapali Beach Hotel’s 180-room Kauai Wing, a refresh of the property’s courtyard, the launch of a new oceanfront restaurant, and an additional floor of parking.

Alika Guerrero, Kaanapali Beach Hotel’s director of Pookela, is overseeing all cultural aspects of the renovation process, which is being guided with Hawaiian culture at its core.

The three elements of the Kealaula project are slated for completion in the last quarter 2020.
