As we celebrate 25 years in Hawaii, this milestone\nunderscores our enduring commitment to Waikiki, which we intend to sustain for\nthe long term through investment in this community, its culture and its\npeople.”\n\nDesigned around a philosophy of quiet luxury, Ka Haku blends refined modern\narchitecture with cultural storytelling inspired by Princess Kaiulani and the\nnatural beauty of Hawaii. Reflecting a commitment to sustainability, Ka Haku\nintegrates energy-efficient building systems, water conservation measures,\nsustainable site features and environmentally responsible materials that\nsupport long-term environmental performance and resident well-being. The\nresort is home to Waikiki’s first Japanese-style bathhouse with a large\ncommunal bath, sauna, and cold bath and also offers an exclusive owners lounge\nfor Ka Haku owners. Located just steps from the center of Waikiki, these\namenities help distinguish the property from HGV’s other Hawaii resorts.\n\n“Ka Haku’s opening is a moment our entire team has been building toward,\nand there’s real pride in the experience we will share as we welcome members\nand guests to the resort,” said Robert Ishihara, general manager, Ka Haku, a\nHilton Club. “From the moment members and guests arrive, our goal is to make\nevery visit feel like coming home, creating meaningful experiences that\ninspire their story and stay with them long after they leave.”\n\nBeyond the experience it offers travelers, Ka Haku’s economic impact to\nHawaii includes the creation of nearly 200 full-time hospitality roles and\nmore than 400 local jobs during construction, part of the nearly 1,800 jobs\nHGV supports statewide.\n\nIn coordination with the City and County of Honolulu, the company donated $1\nmillion toward the revitalization of Kuhio Beach Park — one of Waikiki’s\nmost beloved and heavily used public spaces — funding improvements to\nsafety, maintenance and everyday enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.\n\nThe Kuhio Beach Park donation is one part of a broader effort. Through HGV\nServes, the company’s corporate social responsibility program, HGV has\ncontributed more than $200,000 to Hawaii nonprofit organizations this year\nalone.
