Mauna Kea Beach Hotel

On 60 acres distinguished by 5,000-year-old black lava adjoining a whitesand beach, Laurance S. Rockefeller built a site-sensitive hotel whose every aspect paid tribute to the ancient Hawaiian spirit on the Big Island. When it reopened in December, after a $150 million repair and renovation, guests discovered the same sense of Hawaiian time and place that has made Mauna Kea Beach Hotel a favorite with generations of elite travelers.

Guests arrive to find Rockefeller’s museum-quality art collection restored and reinstalled throughout the property. They also find newly relaxed reception seating in the atrium lobby, a new spa and fitness center, and a new exhibition kitchen at the Manta & Pavilion Wine Bar. Larger, luxury-laden guest rooms feature all-new furnishings, luxury bed linens, flat-screen TVs, and wide lanais with endless vistas. Spectacular bathrooms in select rooms boast wallless rain showers, deep-soaking tubs, and private lanais with stunning views. A restoration of Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s legendary 18-hole Mauna Kea Golf Course by his son, Rees Jones, greets visitors as well.

Together with the refurbished and updated amenities, a new highly personalized service philosophy aims to earn the AAA ’s Five Diamond Award and position the hotel as the flagship property for the prestigious luxury collection of Prince Hotels & Resorts.

The Rockefeller classic shares the Mauna Kea Resort with the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel. A complimentary shuttle whisks guests to six more restaurants and another spa, beach, golf course, and 85,000 square feet of additional space for events—all just minutes away.
