The Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa has entered a new chapter with the completion of a landmark resort-wide renewal, bringing refreshed accommodations, redesigned gathering spaces, and elevated wellness experiences to Waikiki's "First Lady."
Spanning all 791 guestrooms across the resort's three distinct wings, the multimillion-dollar transformation honors the Moana Surfrider's 125-year legacy while introducing thoughtful modern updates inspired by Waikiki's coastline, culture, and history.
A New Era for the Surfrider Wing
As part of the completed renovation, the resort has restored the historic Surfrider Wing name, formerly known as the Diamond Wing. Originally opened as a standalone hotel in 1952, the reimagined wing now features contemporary beach-loft interiors inspired by Waikiki surf culture, vibrant local artwork, and redesigned guestrooms that blend relaxed coastal living with modern comfort.
Five new junior suites introduce expanded layouts, enhanced natural light, and indoor-outdoor living with views of Waikiki Beach and the Honolulu skyline.
Distinct Experiences Across Every Wing
Each wing of the resort now offers its own unique design perspective rooted in the Moana's sense of place:
- Tower Wing accommodations feature spacious residential-style interiors, custom seating areas, curated artwork, and updated balcony furnishings designed for oceanfront living.
- Banyan Wing guestrooms balance historic elegance with contemporary details, incorporating artwork and design inspired by limu and the surrounding landscape.
The resort's refreshed lobby preserves its Victorian architecture while introducing updated finishes and furnishings that complement the historic setting.
Wellness and Oceanfront Gatherings
The renewal also introduces new wellness-focused experiences at Moana Lani Spa, including a co-ed Wellness Lounge designed for relaxation and restoration.
For weddings, meetings, and celebrations, the resort has unveiled a new oceanfront event venue located on the ground floor of the Tower Wing, expanding the collection of indoor and outdoor gathering spaces available at the property.
Art, Music, and Cultural Connection
Local artistry plays a central role throughout the redesigned resort, with Hawaii-based artists featured across guestrooms and public spaces. Guests can further connect with the property's cultural legacy through the new "Moana Calls" live music series, honoring the resort's historic role in global radio broadcasts from Waikiki.
Experience the Next Chapter of the First Lady of Waikiki
Since opening in 1901, the Moana Surfrider has remained one of Waikiki's most iconic oceanfront destinations. With the completion of its landmark renewal, the resort continues to blend historic character with a refreshed guest experience designed for modern travel.
