Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach to Undergo Makeover Starting June 2

Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach, part of LXR Hotels & Resorts, will embark on a $100 million renovation starting June 2. Led by the Bryan O’Sullivan Studio, this transformation coincides with the property’s 15th anniversary. The phased renovation will include upgrades to the guestrooms and suites, public areas such as the pool, and both signature restaurants, along with the spa, fitness center and landscaping. In addition, the lobby will be revamped with a new bar as its centerpiece. The 38-story hotel will remain fully operational throughout the process, with completion anticipated in Q2 2026.

The project will see the introduction of custom-designed furniture and Hawaiian-inspired design elements throughout. Spaces such as the lobbies, Wai’olu Ocean Cuisine, pool chairs and cabanas, guestrooms and suites will showcase neutral tones, rich wood finishes and artisanal details. 

Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach is situated above Fort DeRussy Park with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and Diamond Head. Steps from Waikīkī Beach and surrounded by restaurants and entertainment options, the hotel has residential-style guestrooms and suites; a wellness facility and 24-hour fitness center; an infinity pool with sun deck; indoor and outdoor event space; two signature restaurants; beach services; and a 24-hour business center.

Ka Laʻi Waikīkī Beach participates in the Hilton Honors guest loyalty program.
