HONOLULU, HI, January 13, 2010 - OHANA Waikiki Malia rings in the New Year with a new, alluring look and fresh island ambiance. From the handsome reception area to the serene accommodations, the completion of a $6.6 million lobby and guest room transformation has elevated this hotel to a place of well-being in paradise. Guests are invited to experience the new OHANA Waikiki Malia at introductory rates starting at just $89.

“The OHANA Waikiki Malia now communicates a new standard of quality and style for the OHANA brand, which is already synonymous with exceptional value and comfort,” said Tom Wakita, sales and marketing director for OHANA Hotels & Resorts.

Inspired by the hues of Hawaii's foliage and florals, all guest rooms in the Malia Tower have been remodeled to evoke the graciousness of Hawaii's past, while incorporating the modern amenities of today. A pattern of tropical leaves cover the plush new Serta beds and rich cherry-toned woods bring warmth to the custom headboards, dressers, and vanity. The custom wood pieces are complemented by granite countertops and textured draperies that add to the welcoming feeling of the rooms.

A seamless flow of indoor-outdoor ambiance continues with a dramatic wall-covering, bamboo-framed vanity mirror and lively shower curtain, adding tropical zest to the overall look of the bathrooms. The spacious accommodations include new 32-inch LCD televisions, complimentary high-speed Internet access, refrigerator, safe and state-of-the-art energy-efficient air conditioning system.

Throughout the hotel, artwork by local artists known for their tropical flair is displayed, offering unique viewpoints of Hawaiian scenic beauty. The new hotel lobby has a sophisticated feel, with a cut glass, pineapple-shaped chandelier and curved wooden lamps. Guests will be greeted by vivid wall colors, distinctive fabrics and textures, offering an inviting and fun start to their Hawaii vacation.

Centrally located on Kuhio Avenue, OHANA Waikiki Malia is a quick five-minute walk to the stylish and spirited Waikiki Beach Walk®, featuring over 40 merchants including award-winning restaurants and diverse shops. Guests can present an OHANA room key to any second floor merchant at Waikiki Beach Walk and receive a “Just for You” coupon booklet with valuable discounts on food and merchandise.

OHANA Waikiki Malia is a much-desired property for individuals who prefer large hotel rooms, as well as families and friends traveling in groups thanks to its selection of connecting rooms, an extensive inventory of guest rooms with double beds, and the popular family-friendly IHOP restaurant located off the hotel lobby. The adjoining low-rise Luana Tower also offers spacious one-bedroom suites featuring kitchenette facilities.

All OHANA Hotel & Resort guests can also take advantage of the popular Waikiki Connection - a great value, which offers a long list of free amenities including:
• Free Internet access
• Free local phone calls
• Free U.S. and Canada phone calls (for the first 15 minutes)
