Construction on Ka Haku by Hilton Club restarts

[dayooper]

It is nice to see a new property for HGVC.

FWIW I don't understand the allure of bHC when there are no home resort reservations windows like NYC. You can easily trade in using cheaper club points at 9 months.

I know you don't get 32:1 nor lounge access but IMO with Hilton.com increasing to 140k this is a devaluation of the 32:1 and it will only continue in that direction. I enjoy lounge access in NYC because the weather is often crappy and it is nice to have a third space to gather family. It makes NYC feel more like a second home because the lounge is often social and we enjoy meeting other owners. But not sure this is needed in Waikiki or La Pacifica when you have kitchens in the room.

Perhaps I am not their target demographic for this because I would much rather be at HHV on the beach with a lanai and kitchen.

The allure is for HGVC only. It means they can charge more when they rent the rooms. It doesn’t cost them anymore (or not much more) to make. Hilton recognizes them as higher quality rooms so they can rent them for more in the Hilton Hotel system.

My guess is that most, if not all of the new HGVC developed properties will be bHC. Maybe not properties like the one proposed earlier this month in Myrtle Beach. That’s a 3rd party group. They do have a bHC in Charleston, though.

Just complete an owner update at Lagoon Presentation Center. Confirmed the entire KH resort will be a bHC with an owners lounge / 32:1 HH conversion / 9 month HGVC booking window for all HGVC Legacy owner (non-MAX). Offered a studio Gold season for $50K (8000 points). Completion 2026 Q3.

Do you have any more insight? lmaoo

Now a lot of information is on the resort page on the HGVC website.

The acronyms keep spawning - can I ask, what is "bHC"?

Aloha State Daily | Waikīkī timeshare hits major development milestone

Developers last week topped off Ka Haku, a Hilton Club, a new timeshare property under construction by Hilton Grand Vacations.

Ka Haku point charts were posted this year.
As expected, HGVC points are higher than three newest resorts on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island (Grand Islander at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Maui Bay Villas and Ocean Tower at Hilton Waikoloa Village).

And of course, ridiculously higher compared to older Hawaii resorts within Waikiki (Lagoon and Kalia towers at the Hilton Hawaiian Village)

 

[alwysonvac]

Hilton.com is currently accepting Ka Haku reservations for October 2026.
I'm assuming it will be bookable for HGVC soon.

In general I completely agree. We *love* Liberty Place...but given the lack of a Home Resort Priority window there is no reason to buy there. I just don't know what HGV is thinking...the Home Resort Priority window (and access to the bHC windows at reciprocal locations) is *why* I bought bHC.

That said, (at least to me) Waikiki is different than Charleston or Vegas because I imagine most buyers will spend a week there. So the Home Week reservation window is sufficient for their needs.



If I were to buy a Platinum week studio at Ka Haku I would very much appreciate having a lounge as a 'third space' given their small size and lack of a full kitchen. But I agree the lounge would seldom be used if we had a 2BR or 3BR unit.



All the 1BRs and above have balconies or terraces as do some of the studios. But I agree...we want a beach when we visit Hawaii.

You are across the street from Waikiki Beach. Real easy walk. I walk by this resort almost everyday. Outstanding location.

I was able to book Ka Haku in the app today. Oct 2 2026 is first availability. Aloha.

Grabbed a 1BR PH in early December - then went back for a Xmas week in a lower studio (SBX)

I went to an OU at HHV Lagoon. Rep told me that ka haku owners will receive 50% off valet parking and have exclusive use of the ofuro bath in addition to the lounge. So, if the rep is honest, you won't be using the ofuro if you are not an owner.

What did you get for attending an owner update?

It was a small offer from brand new hawker, his first day on the job, 70k HH. I had gotten 125k HH in Orlando about one week earlier.

Here is a link to the Ka Haku brochure I received when I did a presentation a year ago. It still works and has a nice map layout. And well drawn floorplans. Hopefully someone smarter than me can figure out how save it somehow

The unit type map and floorplans are shown below. Unfortunately, Ka Haku is yet another 'useless' bHC with no Home Resort window nor Open Season exclusivity.

I have a one night stay at the Hyatt right next to it in October. I'll have to pop over and check it out.
