Mauna Kea Resort Enters Into Franchise Agreement With Westin Hotels & Resorts

Beginning as early as September 2017, the hotel will participate in SPG® (Starwood Preferred Guest), one of Marriott International's award-winning loyalty programs, allowing guests to redeems points to stay at the hotel.

"Well-being is a big part of the local culture here, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the Westin brand to the island of Hawaii," said Donn Takahashi, President of Prince Resorts Hawaii. "With longtime Westin-veteran Craig Anderson at the helm, we're confident that his leadership will allow us to leverage the brand's successful lifestyle positioning and elevate the guest experience."

"Westin's history of delivering a best-in-class product is perfectly suited for Hapuna and will reposition the hotel as a top competitor on the Kohala Coast," continued Craig Anderson, Mauna Kea Resort Vice President of Operations.

Situated on the sunny Kohala Coast, Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel has defined Big Island luxury since its opening in 1994. As the second phase in Rockefeller's creation of Mauna Kea Resort, the hotel property shares 1,839 acres of oceanfront paradise with the legendary Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Perfectly nestled into the bluffs above the idyllic Hapuna Beach, the hotel presents a flowing, contemporary Hawaiian style where guests experience the true essence of rejuvenation.
