HONOLULU, Hawaii—Aqua Hospitality, an operating business of Interval Leisure Group, announced the addition of the Ohia Waikiki to its Waikiki management portfolio effective June 2015. Located in the heart of Waikiki, the 17-story, 251-room Ohia Waikiki — formerly known as the Outrigger Surf East — is currently undergoing a $2 million refresh.
With bright colors and tropical design cues, the accommodations range from hotel rooms to studios and junior suites, each with a private lanai and kitchenette with a four-burner stove and oven. Amenities include a 24-hour restaurant, lobby seating area with a flat-screen TV, swimming pool, sundeck, and bike and surfboard racks. The hotel will undergo a full renovation in the next few years, with plans to elevate the property to a three-plus-star hotel.
“We are always looking to expand our portfolio to provide a wide variety of options to our loyal and new customers,” said Matt Bailey, president and chief operating officer, Aqua Hospitality. “Ohia Waikiki is not only a great option for budget-conscious travelers coming to Oahu, but it also offers much sought-after accommodations with kitchenettes in Waikiki.”
