The newly opened Renaissance Honolulu Hotel & Spa made its debut earlier this year as Oahu’s first new-build hotel in more than two decades. The property’s location in the heart of Honolulu fills a hole in the luxury hotel market outside of Waikiki and offers access to residential-style amenities, world-class wellness facilities, signature dining, and endless ways to discover the destination with Renaissance Navigators. 

Highlights of the new property include an expansive Sky Deck and Renaissance Spa on the eighth floor complete with Oahu’s first traditional Japanese ofuro soaking tubs, inventive Mediterranean dining at MARA, a private club lounge with breathtaking ocean views, an impressive art collection, and easy access to Oahu’s world-famous beaches.

Immersive Wellness: The vast eighth floor Sky Deck is a sanctuary for wellness. Amenities include a full-service spa, meditation gardens, a fully equipped fitness center with state-of-the-art LifeFitness and Peloton equipment, a glass-enclosed yoga studio, and an outdoor MoveStrong strength-training experience. The Uhiwai Spa offers a variety of treatments including massages, facials, and more. Relaxation and socialization are prevalent in Oahu’s first traditional Japanese ofuro indoor and outdoor soaking tubs, Himalayan salt saunas, steam rooms, and cold plunge baths. Spa facilities are accessible to all hotel guests.

Dining: A compelling culinary experience has been curated by Highgate and TableOne Hospitality, led by renowned restaurateur Patric Yumul. MARA is a modern 6,700-square-foot restaurant that offers Mediterranean cuisine prepared with Hawaii’s finest local ingredients. Chefs Michael Ocampo and Franz Wohlrab offer family-style tapas, grilled meats, and fresh seafood along with a lively full-service bar and lounge, which includes al fresco dining.

Art & Culture: Art is a gateway to exploration and discovery for the multi-cultural diversity that makes up the island’s heritage and identity. Artwork is seamlessly blended from Japan’s Hiroshi Sugimoto, renowned local artist Sig Zane, and photographer Mark Kushimi. Visitors are invited to learn more through curated collateral at The Discovery Center.
