Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach, part of Hilton’s LXR Hotels & Resorts collection, will launch a comprehensive multimillion-dollar renovation in June.
Overseen by London-based Bryan O’Sullivan Studio (BOS), the phased transformation will reimagine the 38-story property’s guestrooms and suites, public spaces, dining venues, and wellness areas. The hotel will remain operational throughout the renovation, which is slated for completion in Q2 2026
The design vision, with support from Brooklyn-based Guerin Glass Architects, will balance heritage and modernity, drawing on the building’s original architecture while incorporating globally inspired details.
Guestrooms at Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach
Custom furniture and locally influenced materials will infuse the hotel with a sense of place.
Guestrooms and suites will be outfitted in creamy hues and plush textures, complemented with handcrafted furniture and colorful ceramics. Light oak paneling, Tajimi tiles, marble countertops, and bespoke furnishings will introduce an element of warmth.
Revamped public areas
The refined, organic palette will carry into the public areas, which will be defined by neutral tones, rich wood accents, and artisanal finishes.
The redesigned lobby will center around a newly introduced bar. Both signature restaurants, the spa, and the fitness center will be also upgraded, and enhancements to the pool area will include new chairs and cabanas.
