Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, an Autograph Collection, Hawaiʻi Islandʻs most iconic and historic resort, announces a $180-million renovation in 2024 that will signal the evolution of its offerings for today's sophisticated travelers - while preserving its remarkable heritage and timelessness that has captivated guests since Laurance S. Rockefeller opened the resort in 1965.

A phased transformation, which will commence in Q2 2024 and be completed in early 2025, will encompass a stunning redesign of the resort's 252 guest rooms and suites, four dining venues including the resortʻs signature restaurant Manta that offers unobstructed views of Kaunaʻoa Bay. The renovation will also feature an extensive destination spa and infinity pool experience with 11 indoor and al fresco treatment rooms, full service salon, and an enlarged, state-of-the art fitness center. New garden areas will include a chef's garden providing fresh produce for the resort's kitchens as well as a specialized botanical garden and with indigenous and endemic plant species. 

The interior design will be led by Dallas-based Looney & Associates with architectural design from Honolulu-based AHL, or Architects Hawaii Ltd. Additionally, Mauna Kea Golf Course will undergo an extensive makeover under the direction of Robert Trent Jones Jr., making this course the first ever to incorporate the visionary work of Robert Trent Jones Sr. and both sons Reese and Bobby Jr., creating a unique golf experience curated by three of the sport's pioneers.
