A traditional Hawaiian blessing, led by Hawaiian cultural
advisor Ka'ipo Ho, was held today for hotel executives and employees
signaling the reopening of the The Wyland Waikiki following the completion
of renovations valued at tens of millions of dollars.
Located at 400 Royal Hawaiian Avenue and fronting Kuhio Avenue, the property
offers 405 rooms and suites in three buildings and is central to the
activity, entertainment, and shopping that Waikiki has to offer. An
investment group led by Lodging Capital Partners, LLC, of Chicago recently
awarded Outrigger Enterprises Group a contract to manage the hotel.
"We are pleased to report that The Wyland Waikiki is open for business and
taking reservations," said David Carey, president and CEO of Outrigger
Enterprises Group. "It's a gem of a property, beautifully upgraded and quite
unique to Waikiki in the contemporary styling of its interiors. We are
confident that it's going to achieve a strong following."
The extensive renovation has created a boutique-style hotel with chic
interiors inspired by the iconic artwork and conservation themes of
world-renowned marine life artist Wyland. It is also the first artist-themed
hotel in Hawaii.
The lobby greets guests with a sense of tranquility from the ocean-hued
color scheme to the sleek and stylish contemporary furnishings. It is a
living art studio with a collection of Wyland's paintings, photographs, and
sculptures. Here, guests will also find large flat screen televisions
throughout, the Wy-Bar lounge overlooking the pool, a comfortable library
with reading materials, a "chill" room where guests can relax, read or watch
TV, and a complimentary business center with two 24" iMac computers with
high-speed Internet and printers. The property also offers two renovated
pools and whirlpool spa. A signature restaurant, specialty coffee shop, day
spa, and fitness center are slated to open over the next few months.
All 405 guestrooms and suites offer pillowtop beds adorned with Wyland
designed motifs on the throw pillows and bed skirts. The contemporary style
rooms feature designer wood furnishings, 26" flat panel high-definition flat
screen plasma televisions, iPod compatible alarm clocks, high-speed Internet
access, Wyland artwork, complimentary in-room safe, refrigerator,
coffeemaker, and furnished balcony. Many rooms also include a microwave and
sink.
In celebration of the hotel's opening, The Wyland Waikiki is offering
travelers a special "Wy-Wait Room and Breakfast" package starting at $169
per room/night (exclusive of tax) based on room category. Rates are based on
double occupancy and include complimentary daily breakfast for two at the
IHOP Waikiki located just across the street from the hotel. Offer subject to
available and restrictions may apply. Rates are valid through November 30,
2007.
The Wyland Waikiki will operate as its own hotel brand within the Outrigger
portfolio while enjoying the global sales and marketing, advanced
technology, and operations and management expertise Outrigger has developed
over the past 60 years.
