Iconic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel Debuts $180+ Million Resort Transformation on Hawaii Island

Hawaii Island’s first resort, the iconic Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, originally envisioned by Laurance S. Rockefeller, proudly unveils its $180+ million, multi-phased renovation representing the most extensive transformation in the property’s 60-year history. An Autograph Collection hotel and part of the expansive Mauna Kea Resort—which also includes The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort and Mauna Kea Residences—the reimagined Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is now fully open to welcome both returning and first-time guests, carrying forward Rockefeller’s vision of harmonizing world-class hospitality with Hawai’i’s natural beauty, cultural heritage, and environmental stewardship.
