A new high-rise in Waikiki has condominium units up for sale on Kalakaua Avenue. The 35-story Allure Waikiki offers over 250 residential condos and for five lucky potential owners, a 25% discount will be taken off the market price on Sunday.
According to “Hotel Chatter” Blogsite at www.Concierge.com, “Last month, we reported that the Waikiki Edition, the first hotel sprung from the loins, er minds of hotelier greats Bill Marriott and Ian Schrager, would open not in July as we had first hoped but in October instead. This was a bummer of course, but we kept ourselves happy by thinking of the complimentary WiFi that would be available for all guests when the hotel did open.
However, in checking on the hotel today we see that the website* now says Opening in September. Backing up this opening date, is a recent Honolulu Star article about Chef Masaharu Morimoto and his preparations for his restaurant inside the hotel. The Star says the hotel could open in either August or September. We nearly jumped out of our seats. Why, August is just a few weeks away!
Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort & Spa marked the return of the resort’s sailing tours with the July 1, 2010 launch of Waikiki’s newest catamaran, Spirit of Aloha. The vessel, operated by Port Waikiki Cruises, offers six different tour options daily, from breakfast and snorkel tours to sunset cocktail sails. In addition, a weekly Friday fireworks dinner sail gives guests a front-row seat to Hilton’s spectacular fireworks display.
A Hawaiian blessing and Ho`omana Ceremony was held on June 28. Invited dignitaries and guests participated in a transfer of spiritual power and aloha to the catamaran before it set sail on its first voyage from the Hilton pier, escorted by Waikiki beach boys, paddlers and surfers.
The Spirit of Aloha is a modern, 54-foot motor-sail vessel built by Gold Coast Yachts, the world leader in commercial sailing catamarans.

State officials have said they plan to restore a portion of Waikiki Beach by taking loads of sand from nearby shoals. The most popular beach in Hawaii – and maybe the world, will be undergoing an estimated $2.5 million makeover that would widen the 1,700-foot-long beach by about 37 feet between the Royal Hawaiian Hotel concrete groin and the Kuhio Beach crib wall.

Ultra-stylish Edition brand will make global debut at former Yacht Harbor Tower next to Ilikai (See Waikiki Ilikai Properties – New “Edition” Hotel Part 1)
You don’t usually mentally link Marriott hotels with Ian Schrager or high style. But, the reliable hotel chain is hoping to change that with a new brand of “lifestyle” hotels called EDITION. The first EDITION hotel is set to open on Waikiki Beach this fall, and the brand itself is part of a partnership between Marriott and Schrager-he of Studio 54 and boutique hotel fame, from the Delano in Miami to the Mondrian in Los Angeles. According to the EDITION press release, “The Brand will be about an attitude and the way it makes you feel rather than the way it looks. Sophisticated public spaces, finishes, design, and details will serve the experience, not drive it.” Yes, the world is turning upside down. What else does the Waikiki EDITION have in store?
