Diverse meeting venues, a service-oriented atmosphere and lush tropical beauty characterize the 1,310-room Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa, located just steps from Waikiki beach and the Pacific Ocean in Honolulu. The hotel’s 55,000 sf of flexible indoor/outdoor meeting space caters to groups of all sizes. And a new renovation set for completion this June will expand this “Aloha” spirit through soft lobby, public area and guest room updates designed to foster creativity, comfort and communication while drawing the outdoors, and Honolulu’s rich culture, inside.

“The corporate meeting market is our focus,” says Pattie Herman, director of sales/marketing. “With the renovation, we’ll be a four-star property with contemporary styling in the lobby and guest rooms that appeal to millennial groups.”

The hotel’s guest rooms, many with views of the ocean, mountains or nearby Diamond Head Crater, fan out between two towers, Kealohilani and the newly refreshed Paoakalani. In addition to the various ballrooms located in both towers, the 20,000-sf open-air Moana Terrace on the Kealohilani side holds room for 1,000; two terraces in the Paoakalini tower offer a combined 12,400 sf of space for cocktails or other receptions, the details of which Herman says can be hammered out easy enough by her team.

“Each group we work with gets dedicated attention from our events and operations team. With the pampering and service you receive from us, we know you’ll want to come back.” One of the bigger perks of the hotel’s events and operations team is a complimentary events webpage where guests can get information, reserve rooms and stay updated on event details.
