Park Hotels and Resorts, a leading lodging real estate investment trust boasting a diverse portfolio of iconic properties, recently announced that it plans to further develop the already expansive Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Cultivating the site of the former Kobe Steak House and the venue that currently houses a car rental and Goofy Café & Dine, the new 36-story tower fronting Ala Moana Boulevard will feature 515 guestrooms, complete with a porte-cochere, lobby, stores, restaurants, bars, pool, and a gym.

Construction is slated to commence as early as 2024, and is estimated to take about two and a half years to complete, giving more guests an opportunity to access all the extravagant amenities Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort has to offer.

Hilton Hawaiian Village getting another tower?

Has anyone heard about potential plans to add another TS tower in the village? I read somewhere that HGVC is considering adding another tower between GW and Kalia. I've consider going to Honolulu but if another tower goes up, I may just pass on staying in the village.

We read this morning that construction is scheduled to start in 2024 or 2025. Sadly, I’ll have a front row view of every step from my master bedroom window, as it will block our view of the lagoon and ocean behind it.

HGVC really needs to expand beyond this overcrowded location

Apparently DRI owns one building by the marina which means there will even be another HGV resort on that side if HHV.

I agree, but is this an HGVC or a Hilton Hotels property?

That property, The Modern was a hotel that DRI was converting into timeshares. It currently isn’t part of any collection or trust so who knows what will become of it.

I was thinking that since it's not a part of a trust it would probably be one of the easiest properties to direct convert into HGVC. We'll see.

I am almost certain the new tower at HHV will be a hotel, not HGV. Everything I have read mentions hotel, and HGV has not mentioned a new resort coming to Oahu. My guess is that HGV is much more focused on the integration of Diamond and what conversion opportunities exist in that portfolio

That‘s my thought as well, but with the reduction in units at Ocean Enclave, Chicago and Elara, I’m thinking The Modern will be HVC. I wonder if these reductions aren’t replacing units being changed from DRI to HGVC.

The new tower scheduled to be built at HHV, which will be called the Ala Moana Tower from what I am told, will be all hotel rooms, 515 of them. None is to be timeshare from what I have read and based on their public hearings.

Oh my… will the lagoon and surrounding beaches support that many more guests on the property?! If each room averages at least 2 guests then that’s at least 1000 more people if the resort is booked up during peak times.

Very legitimate concern/observation. In my (biased) opinion the answer is definitely not. Certainly the dining is grossly inadequate for another 1000 people, none of whom will have kitchens. I suspect the beach at HHV and the Lagoon will also suffer, and parking will be a nightmare. I also have concerns about traffic on Ala Moana with the hotel ingress/egress right at a crowded curve between the Iliani Hotel and Ena Rd.

This new remodel resort to be is a win-win for Hilton either as hotel or as a timeshare.
Hawaii is expecting an increase in tourism over the next five (5) years

@alwysonvac Phyllis, you are amazing! Thanks for posting this -- I hope our paths cross soon in Carlsbad (or Hawaii/Aruba!!!)

Best,

The most important question of all is what will happen to Goofys? Its the best breakfast on Oahu imo. Was so nice to have it close like that to the GW tower.

All I can tell you is that it won’t be where it is today. All those small buildings along Ala Moana are where the new tower is going. My wife chatted today with the owner of the small gift shop there who isn’t too happy about it but said he’ll be gone.

I remember seeing a news story about this a month or so ago. Some places are closing and some are looking for a new place. Some have already moved . Some long time businesses are closing.

We’ll be at Aviara and HHV in a few months. I’ll send you a PM.
I’m hoping to go back to Aruba next year.

Please say more about a reduction of units at Ocean Enclave, Chicago and Elara. I have not heard anything about this.

We ate at Goofy's yesterday. Really good food. But I'm not surprised these buildings will be gone. Compared to its surroundings, these buildings look like slums, especially the courtyard at Goofy's and the rental car parking lot.

Oh my… will the lagoon and surrounding beaches support that many more guests on the property?!

Yeah, one concern is the beach, but also the pools. As we took a walk through the whole property yesterday (Thursday around 4pm), all ground-level pools were packed. Still, the pool at HGVC Kalia Suites wasn't busy - as seen from my unit at HGVC Grand Waikikian.

Overall, after staying at multiple Vegas properties (Paradise, Boulevard, Elara) and MarBrisa, I'm surprised how tiny the pools at HHV are. I guess the real reason is the cost of real estate needed for big ass pools at a location like this.

I tried to get lunch at Goofys in Dec when we were there, was told they did not serve a Poke bowl, even though it was on the web site menu listed as limited number. The host and chef were not welcoming at all so I left.

Honestly, I think that was probably our last trip to HHV, as stated the pools were overcrowded and no seating available. Dining choices very limited on site, best lunch was the shrimp plate from the truck in the marina parking lot.

We first stayed there in 2001, parking was $10 a night and the Lagoon tower had a private pool deck and hot tub. The super pool is not so super when you throw all the people from the new towers in there.

HGVC Hokulani Waikiki could be a good alternative. A lot of food options in a walking distance, similar from Grand Waikikian to the HHV Bazaar.

I love Hokulani - it was where my wife and I used to stay. Now we have a kid so the Village will probably be a better experience. I'll let you know in April when we're there.
