The Modern Honolulu Hotel Joins ALHI
July 25, 2012 - The Modern Honolulu in Honolulu, Hawaii has been accepted as the newest member of Associated Luxury Hotels International (ALHI). ALHI, and its established professional sales force throughout North America, now provides authorized and dedicated Global Sales Organization (GSO) services and support for the hotel to corporations, associations, independent planners, business executives, and incentive specialists desiring to conduct meetings or incentive/recognition programs at the hotel.
The Modern Honolulu, which provides spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean and which overlooks popular Waikiki Beach and a picturesque marina harbor, debuted in September 2011. The innovative and chic marina-front hotel features 353 guest rooms and suites. Situated on the island of Oahu, the hotel is ideally located a short walk to the famous Ala Moana Center (Hawaii's largest open-air shopping center), and is just steps to the attractions, luxury boutiques and retail shops along Waikiki's famous Kalakaua Avenue. The hotel's exceptional meeting space includes an elegant 9,200-square-foot ballroom that can seat up to 800 for a dinner, as well as a 1,300-square-foot Sun Suite for private functions that also features an open-air terrace, and four meeting studios with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment. Additional offerings at the hotel include a full-service spa, a restaurant by famed Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto, the vibrant ADDICTION nightclub, a sophisticated lobby bar, and two pools.
The Modern Honolulu becomes ALHI's third member in Hawaii, and the second on the island of Oahu, joining the elegant Halekulani on Waikiki Beach; and the popular The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and Bungalows, nestled on 30 oceanfront acres on the beautiful Kohala Coast on the Big Island of Hawaii.
“The Modern Honolulu is an exceptional new hotel that is sophisticated and chic, with a wonderful contemporary design that is both upscale and refreshingly relaxing,” said David Gabri, president and CEO of ALHI. “Featuring a great location, excellent air access, and a picturesque Hawaiian setting, it is a great choice for any planner wanting a distinguished new resort for their programs in Hawaii.”
