Five years in the making, the contemporary new 'Alohilani Resort delivers unparalleled experiences in the heart of Waikiki Beach
following a $125 million makeover. "Everywhere our guests look, they are met with awe-inspiring features," says Vann Avedisian,
principal of Highgate Hotels, "from the seascape infinity pool deck, to two exclusive dining options by Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto,
a mesmerizing reimagined 280,000-gallon Oceanarium that houses more than 1,000 indigenous marine animals, and guest rooms
that have been transformed into an airy and serene space with private lanais overlooking the Pacific." Formerly the Pacific Beach
Hotel, the new property on fashionable Kalakaua Avenue has been transformed into a sophisticated venue that pays homage to
Hawaii's rich cultural heritage, complete with Rockwell Group-designed spaces that include pillars clad in basket-woven teak and a
custom coral wall sculpture by artist Nina Helms in the reception area, as well as locally inspired surf and sand experiences. -W.B.
