IHG Hotels In Pact With Kimpton For Historic Coco Palms Resort

Idyllically located amidst natural surroundings in the verdant valley of Wailua along its magnificent shoreline, Coco Palms is owned by Reef Capital Partners and will be operated by Highgate. The resort was known as a premier destination during the golden era of Hollywood, with renowned guests such as Elvis Presley, Rita Hayworth and Gene Autry. Its meticulous restoration is being guided by Native Hawaiian advisors within the local community to ensure guests are welcomed with an authentic, culturally rich experience. The restored landmark will be comprised of 350 thoughtfully designed accommodations spread across three low-rise hotel structures as well as cottages.

The Redevelopment

Complementing the stay experience will be an array of amenities designed for travelers to relax and unwind or fuel their curiosity. With access to the resort’s 15-acre coconut grove, guests can enjoy everything from meditation and movie nights to wedding ceremonies and more. Those seeking a moment of calm can let stresses melt away at the onsite spa or take a dip in one of the resort’s three outdoor swimming pools. Unique restaurant and bar concepts will include a rooftop bar, a pool bar as well as a restored shoreline restaurant. In addition, guests can immerse themselves in the continuation of a celebrated Coco Palms tradition – the evening torch-lighting ceremony. As with all Kimptons, the resort will also feature perks such as Kimpton Kickstart morning coffee and tea service, Kimpton Social every evening, a “Forgot It? We’ve Got It!” program, in-room yoga mats and pet-friendly policies.

When it opens, IHG Hotels Coco Palms will represent the west coast resort flagship for Kimpton in the Americas. It will join the brand’s growing resort offering globally, which includes boutique oases such as Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa in Grand Cayman, Kimpton Grand Roatan Resort & Spa in Honduras’ Bay Islands, Kimpton Mas Olas Resort & Spa and Kimpton Aluna Tulum in Mexico, Kimpton Aysla Mallorca in Spain as well as Kimpton Kitalay Samui in Thailand, amongst others.
