Highgate announced the grand opening of Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa. The 39-story property has 187 guestrooms and suites and 112 residences. As one of Renaissance Hotels’ services, the on-property Navigator serves as a neighborhood ambassador and can connect guests with local opportunities. Revitalized wellness is a core value for Renaissance Honolulu, offering residents and guests wellness rituals at Uhiwai Spa. In addition, the concierge service includes a daily shuttle and customized pre-arrival groceries delivered via room service.
“We are ready to bring the Renaissance brand to Oahu and provide a new and inspiring haven that features contemporary design, cutting-edge amenities, and a distinctively residential feel to Honolulu’s thriving Ala Moana district,” said Matthew Grauso, general manager, Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa. “With a strong commitment to transformative wellness, engaging art and culture, and masterful culinary programs, Renaissance Honolulu will ensure every stay is a journey into the rich tapestry of Hawaii.”
“We are proud to introduce Renaissance Hotels to the island of Oahu with the opening of Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa,” said Jennifer Connell, vice president and global brand lead, Renaissance Hotels. “In a city buzzing with new and exciting retail, restaurants, and more, this is a property and a brand that will not only match the energy and vibrancy of the destination but also support its continued growth by shining a light on the businesses and people that make this neighborhood—and the island overall—such a special place.”

Bathrooms with soaking tubs, Toto washlets, and Aveda bath amenities complete each room, and residences come with kitchens that have Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances.
