Hanalei Bay Flagship Property Opens
KAUAI, HI – 1 Hotels, the luxury lifestyle hotel brand founded by Barry Sternlicht, recently opened 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay, its flagship nature-and-wellness-focused island oasis overlooking Kauai’s North Shore.
Guests can swim, snorkel, bike, paddle, kayak, soak up sun, and surf. The peaks of the Namolokama and Mamalahoa mountains loom over a valley where waterfalls capture the bounty and beauty of Hawaii’s “Garden Island.”
“Hanalei Bay is the culmination of everything we’ve sought to achieve with the 1 Hotels brand,” said 1 Hotels’ Founder and Chairman Barry Sternlicht. “What makes the opening of this property such a special moment for me is that my family and I vacationed in the area for decades. When I first visited, I found the existing hotel not in keeping with its natural landscape. I had a vision of creating an extraordinary resort that would combine the magic of a lush native landscape with the region’s rich culture and history. We’ve brought that vision to life with a unique hospitality experience that pays tribute to these wonderful local traditions where nature is the CEO, where the building integrates with the boundless beauty of its surroundings, and all our guests can experience the wellness, soothing and healing properties of the extraordinary island of Kauai.”
