The Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa unveiled a massive, $22 million renovation that completely transformed the interior, which now features Hawaiian artwork commissioned exclusively for the hotel.

Among the updates are a newly-named Nanea Lobby with multimedia technology and flat-screen TVs, Ka Maka Hinu artwork and new state-of-the-art event spaces including the Kona Moku Ballroom.

The artwork is the crowning touch of the renovation. The hotel now features a 60-foot-by-20-foot carved piece called Ka Maka Hinu (The Bright Face) by artist Kaiwi Nui Yoon. It’s the centerpiece of the new lobby, and is intended to reflect the love of Queen Liliuokalani, Hawai’i’s last reigning monarch, for the people of her kingdom.

“Full of light, full of life and full of energy. This exemplifies Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa’s beautification project,” said Chris Tatum, vice president and market general manager, Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa. “Every aspect of the transformation was made to keep in mind the next generation of millennial travelers. We are agile in adapting to new travel trends.”

“We are proud to welcome our guests to a resort with new amenities for the modern-day traveler while delivering the same gracious hospitality and aloha our associates have always offered,” Tatum said.
