Aqua aquires 11th Waikiki Property

Mike Paulin, CEO and owner of Aqua Hotels and Resorts announced that it has been awarded the management contract for the 80-room Waikiki Beachside Hotel by its owners, RKL Beachside, LLC of Honolulu, Hawaii.  The transition is effective on February 12 and increases Aqua’s presence in Waikiki to eleven hotels.  

“It’s a great way to start off 2008,” remarked Paulin, “The Waikiki Beachside enjoys an exceptional location and represents Aqua’s first property on Kalakaua Avenue.  A renovation program of several million dollars is slated for 2008 which will easily upgrade its status to Aqua Boutique – further strengthening Aqua’s leading position in this niche market.”
            
“Our team is excited and energized by the addition of this charming hotel to our portfolio,” said Elizabeth Churchill, Aqua’s Vice President of Sales & Marketing. “It has excellent potential and we’re looking forward to implementing our expertise in marketing and guest services to create more awareness and revenue for the hotel.”
            
Waikiki Beachside is located at 2452 Kalakaua Avenue.  The hotel features an extensive collection of European and Asian antiques and artwork with a unique open-air interior courtyard.  Guest rooms feature private lanais with sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean.
