Outrigger
Waikiki Nears Completion of Comprehensive Room Renovations
HONOLULU, OAHU, HAWAII - Nearly every
guest at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach this summer has
been dazzled by the newly renovated rooms and oceanfront
suites that now feature a blend of contemporary island-style
furnishings and décor reflective of the land that surrounds
this 530-room beachfront hotel.
This November, every guest will experience
this new décor as the last remaining 105 guest rooms on
three floors will be fully renovated, marking the completion
of the project that began quietly in September 2002. The $15
million room renovation includes all 500 guest rooms, 30
oceanfront suites and public corridors on 15 floors.
Built in 1967, the Outrigger Waikiki is
located on the very beach where Hawaiian royalty surfed the
waves of Waikiki (Spouting Waters) and taro grew in the
marshlands created by the fresh water springs and streams
flowing from Manoa Valley. To this day, the Apuakehau Stream
runs directly under the hotel and feeds into the ocean in
front of the hotel, creating the largest sandy bottom
swimming area in Waikiki.
