Moana Surfrider, Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach, is set to begin renovations.
The renovations will take place in phases through 2026. They have been designed by Lisa-Maria Priester and Bev Tagami from the Honolulu-based WCIT. Inspired by the estuarine environment where freshwater and seawater mix, known as Muriwai, the color palette features different accents for each wing.
The renovation will cover 791 guest rooms and the lobby, and an oceanfront event space will be added. The aim is to enhance guest experiences with modern comforts and thoughtful design while preserving the resort’s historical heritage.
Guest room renovations will occur across all three buildings from this summer to summer 2026. The Tower Wing will be completed this summer, the Banyan Wing in early winter, and the Diamond Wing in winter. The lobby will open by the end of summer, and the event space in fall. Business operations will continue during the renovation.
Moana Surfrider is the first hotel in Waikiki, Hawaii, celebrating its 125th anniversary. It is owned by Kyoya Hotels & Resorts, a subsidiary of Kokusai Kogyo.
