The Kahala Hotel & Resort is celebrating its 60th anniversary with an ongoing, property-wide room refresh project, slated for completion by summer 2025. Since opening in 1964, The Kahala Hotel & Resort has been a sanctuary of elegance, beloved for its impeccable service and stunning location along Oahu’s most coveted stretch of beach. As the resort ushers in a new era of refined island luxury, the new guestroom look ensures that the hotel will continue to be the standard-bearer of Hawaiian hospitality for years to come.
“The Kahala’s legacy of excellence and spirit of aloha have made it an iconic destination for the last six decades,” said Joe Ibarra, General Manager of The Kahala Hotel & Resort and Vice President of Resorttrust Hawai‘i. “As we look forward to the years ahead, we are pleased to offer our guests a higher level of comfort and luxury that is fitting of our storied property and its historic gravitas.”
Starting with the recently completed dolphin wing and ocean front rooms, all accommodations at The Kahala Hotel & Resort are being systematically imbued with new life, while carefully retaining the timeless charm and modern elegance the property is renowned for. Every detail, from the bright new color palette to elevated flooring to locally inspired linens and decor, has been thoughtfully chosen to enhance the ambiance of The Kahala's accommodations. Select refreshed rooms are available to book, with the full project slated for completion by summer 2025.
In a nod to local culture and design, NOHO HOME by President and Creative Director Jalene Kanani, will provide plush loveseats, enveloped in the exclusive Kapolei Slub fabric, for the refreshed rooms. Aligning with The Kahala’s values, NOHO HOME is driven by Kanani's profound love for Hawaiian heritage, reimagining the modern island home aesthetic utilizing organic textures that have been woven with native intelligence. These new pieces are not only a testament to the resort's sophisticated taste but also a means of supporting and promoting local craftsmanship and artistry.
Guests looking to experience The Kahala’s reinvigorated rooms in its 60th year can enjoy the celebratory “60th Anniversary Room Package,” featuring daily breakfast for two at the oceanfront Plumeria Beach House, a $60 resort credit, and exclusive commemorative keepsakes, including a 60th Anniversary Tote Bag and 60th Anniversary Keychain.
