Waikiki
Beach, Oahu—Personal renewal for weary travelers,
the scent of white tea and The Westin Heavenly Bed®
are just a few of the changes in store at the landmark Moana
Surfrider, following the hotel’s re-branding by Westin
Hotels & Resorts. Delighting guests with its Victorian
architecture and elegant ambience, the Moana Surfrider,
A Westin Resort will open on June 1, following a comprehensive
renovation.
Built
in 1901 and affectionately christened the “First Lady
of Waikiki,” the Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort
is undergoing a complete transformation, updating the historical
property with modern amenities and Westin’s renowned
selection of signature services and amenities.
The hotel’s distinctive porte-cochère entrance
will draw visitors to wander into a revitalized lobby featuring
hardwood floors, new furniture and lighting fixtures. Work
is already underway to prepare all of the Moana’s
guestrooms with Westin’s signature Heavenly Bed®
and Heavenly Bath® amenities, as well as new flat-screen
televisions by the June transformation date. Upgrades to
guestrooms in the historic Banyan Wing are also planned
for later this year.
Guests
can enjoy the freshwater swimming pool and exclusive international
shops within the hotel grounds, or Waikiki Beach is just
steps away for catamaran sails, surfing, an outrigger canoe
ride, or just relaxing in the sun.
