The group opted to stay at the Turtle Bay Resort, 45 minutes from Honolulu, on the exquisite North Shore. The full-service resort is home to 375 luxury guest rooms, 26 suites, and 42 beach cottages and ocean villas along with two championship golf courses, pools, trails, and more. It’s also home to the famous Hans Hedemann Surf School. Of course, for groups that want to be in the heart of the action, Waikiki is the place to be. “Planners are pleasantly surprised to find a real range of properties in Waikiki,” says Noelani Schilling-Wheeler, senior director of sales and marketing for the Oahu Visitors Bureau. “We have the luxury properties here of course, but a meeting in Hawaii doesn’t have to be over the top or expensive. We have options in all price ranges for all kinds of groups.” The largest hotel meetings complex in Waikiki is the 3,250-room Hilton Hawaiian Village, where constant upgrades and renovations are the norm at the 22-acre selfcontained destination resort. All told, the resort offers three conference centers with 150,000 square feet of meeting space and 1,500 committable guest rooms. Another group favorite is the oceanfront, 1,823-unit Sheraton Waikiki. As part of a nearly $200 million enhancement plan, the hotel reopened its 45,000-square-foot convention center—including Waikiki’s largest hotel ballroom area—in September. During downtime, guests enjoy the freshwater swimming pool, nightly entertainment, and both casual and fine dining options. Additional Waikiki mainstays include the Hilton Waikiki Prince Kuhio, formerly a Shouldn’t your meetings be at The Kahal a? Ten minutes from Waikiki and a world removed. The Kahala is a fitting reward for those who have earned the privilege of working in fine style. Ample room to convene up to 450.
