Mandarin Oriental will open a new hotel and branded residences in Honolulu in 2020.

The new Hawaiian hotel will be the anchor of Mana ‘olana Place, a 36-storey, mixed use tower with gardens and public plazas, which is being developed by Los Angeles-based Salem Partners.

It will include a Spa at Mandarin Oriental that will offer holistic rejuvenation and relaxation, with eight treatment rooms. Further leisure options include a comprehensive fitness centre and an outdoor swimming pool.

Designed by Colorado-based [au] workshop, the hotel will include 125 bedrooms designed to reflect Hawaiian culture, together with features inspired by Mandarin Oriental’s oriental heritage. It will also include 107 branded residences, situated on the top floors of the 743,000-square-foot tower.

The architects envision the design as a modern, vertical urban resort epitomising the Hawaiian tradition of the ‘lanai,’ with its seamless indoor-outdoor sense of place.
