Wyland Waikiki - an Outrigger Hotel
Waikiki welcomes a new hotel inspired by the magnificence of the sea and the creative vision of renowned marine artist Wyland. The Wyland Waikiki is a celebration of the ocean’s beauty in a chic, contemporary atmosphere.
Every aspect of décor is meticulously designed to engage the senses and instill an appreciation for Hawaii’s tropical sea life. Throughout the hotel a refined color palette and gallery lighting capture the ambience of underwater habitats. The outdoor sculpture garden elegantly displays Wyland’s bronze whales, dolphins, and sea turtles amidst swaying coconut palms. A stylish reception is created in the lobby with original brush art, 360-degree aquarium, and Wy Bar lounge (opens late 2007) overlooking the serene swimming pool.
Guest rooms are cradles of comfort with custom pillow-top dream beds, bamboo-inlaid furniture, and ocean-hued bedcovers and accent pillows. LCD high-definition televisions and wired high-speed Internet access are standard amenities.
