“We are honoring the Moana Surfrider's timeless legacy by illuminating architectural details and incorporating refined materials,” said Thomas Foti, Biplex General Manager, Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort and Spa, and Sheraton Princess Kaiulani. “The renovated Tower Wing and Historic Lobby beautifully capture this vision, offering guests distinctly curated environments that are welcoming, restorative, and undeniably luxurious.”

The Moana's Historic Lobby has been refreshed with a sophisticated and tranquil aesthetic, honoring its storied Victorian architecture. Graceful, curved seating vignettes welcome guests to the light-filled space, and accent tables play off the soaring ceiling's curved chandelier fixtures. Notable upgrades include newly refinished original wood flooring, custom-designed transitional furnishings, and bespoke art pieces by Kristen Reyno (Lola Pilar Hawaii), incorporating botanical elements of the hotel's Banyan tree. The front desk now features elegant check-in pods and a striking sculptural lighting fixture inspired by the courtyard's tree, which is on the National Register of Historic Trees. The lobby's beloved piano bar, Vintage 1901, offers a versatile setting for dining and gatherings.

The reimagined guest rooms and suites in the Tower Wing are serene modern beach luxury retreats, showcasing clean, rhythmic patterns, warm metallic accents, and a calming palette echoing the various shades of Waikiki's ocean views.

• Tower Wing guest rooms, available in either a king bed or a new two-queen bed configuration, include zones designed for comfort and flexibility, curved banquette seating areas, integrated workspaces, a custom-designed reading area, and a refreshment station with a coffee maker and mini refrigerator. From lanais (balconies) featuring new residential-style lounge furniture, guests can enjoy breathtaking city, ocean, and Leahi (Diamond Head) views.
• Tower Wing oceanfront one-bedroom suites feature expansive living rooms with a dining table for four guests, wet bar, seating area, and entertainment center with a flatscreen television, and a carved work station.

Chef Macdonald Alop was thrilled to hand-deliver a meal to Wish Kid Iris, whose wish was to dine like a regular customer. It was the first time she was able to enjoy a meal prepared outside of her home. The meal was purposely made to look EXACTLY like the other guests’ meal. Seeing the joy on Iris' face was priceless. ​

Make-A-Wish is just one of the events we’ve been fortunate to hold at The Waikiki Collection. To learn more about having your event with us, click here
