Hilton Waikoloa Village Completes $1 Million Renovation of Two Suites
The Naupaka and Nai'a Suites
Waikoloa, HI - July 8, 2011 - Hilton Waikoloa recently completed a $1 million renovation to the Naupaka and Nai'a suites, the most luxurious suites and the crown of the accommodations available at Hilton Waikoloa Village. Perfect for discriminating travelers that require personal attention, these two suites have been exclusive to select visitors since the resort's opening in 1988.
Famed Hawaiian design firm, Wimberly, Allison, Tong & Goo envisioned the suites as the legendary seaside home of Naupaka, an ancient Hawaiian princess who is said to await the return of her long lost love Kaui and whose pure white flower can be found throughout the resort. Overlooking the Dolphin Quest lagoon, the suites pay homage to the Nai'a, meaning dolphin in Hawaiian, which is reflected in the colors woven throughout the interior.
Upon entry, the two suites feature a spectacular two-story lagoon view. Soft celadon and aqua tones in the fabrics and artwork complement the breathtaking view of the clear blue Pacific Ocean. Handsome wood entry doors are carved with a modern Polynesian motif to symbolize a “place of importance” for guests. A crystal chandelier and dramatic decorative grill add to the grandeur in the foyer below. Rich wood floors add warmth, color and a residential feel to the space. Translucent silver accents in accessories and finishes reflect the tones of the moonlight dancing on the lagoon just outside the suites. Hand looped wool rugs with crisp patterned leaf forms add a touch of richness underfoot. In addition to the placement of a whirlpool bathtub and sauna, pebbled cast art glass and mother of pearl accents in the master bath add an elegant glow and charm. The carefully woven headboard flanked by glowing capiz shell wall sconces adds to the atmosphere of island luxury. Additionally, the suites now feature a fully equipped kitchen with a stove, microwave, refrigerator and the latest kitchen accessories.
In addition to redesigned interiors, renovations include a complete redesign of exteriors, including outdoor installation of a private Jacuzzi, exclusive outdoor dining area and beautiful new tile work.
