Park Shore goes “AQUA”

Park Shore Waikiki Undergoes Management, Positioning Change
Almost unnoticed, the Park Shore Waikiki Hotel occupies arguably the best spot in all of Waikiki.  It sits on the beach.  It overlooks Beautiful Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head.  It’s an easy walk from the shopping venues and attractions of Waikiki.  For 40 years, it has remained under the radar, never mentioned among the stars of the neighborhood such as the Royal Hawaiian, Hyatt Regency and Moana Surfrider.

The 226-room Park Shore’s new owners, Sasada International, have just announced that the property now will be managed by Aqua Hotels and Resorts, and that a major renovation will get underway next year.  The plan is to transform the Park Shore into a unique luxury boutique hotel that delivers outstanding guest service.  That fits the profile and track record of Aqua, whose inventory includes 13 other boutique properties in Waikiki.  A Sasada spokesman noted Aqua’s history of converting under-performing properties into boutique hotels that deliver outstanding guest service. 

If you like the idea of a well-located, service-oriented smaller hotel with plenty of amenities and relatively reasonable rates, Call Hawaii Aloha Travel at 1-800-843-3771, or pick an agent on the Web site’s home page, hawaii-aloha.com.  Our agents know Waikiki inside and out.
