LAHAINA — The readers have spoken! Kaanapali Beach Hotel in Maui is the #1 ‘Top Hotel in Hawaii’ on Condé Nast Traveler’s 31st annual Readers’ Choice Awards.
Moving up three spots from its #4 ranking in last year’s awards, the hotel is located oceanfront on world-famous Kaanapali Beach on Maui’s west side, offering 432 rooms, 11 acres of tropical gardens and a wide range of cultural activities such as kukui nut bracelet making and complimentary ukulele lessons.
Additionally, Hale Huakai, the hotel’s ocean activities center, offers adventures for the entire family, including standup paddle boarding, snorkelling and conch shell blowing.
“To be recognized among the top hotels in Hawaii is an honour, but to be named number one on a list chosen by readers is truly humbling,” says General Manager Mike White. “Our employees are the heart and soul of our hotel, embodying the spirit of aloha and welcoming each guest into our Ohana. With fresh programming like our inaugural Ola I Ka Pu Hala conference celebrating the art of Hawaiian weaving and our new Waa, a traditional Hawaiian outrigger canoe at the ocean activity center, we want to give our guests reason to come home to Kaanapali Beach Hotel time after time.”
The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry and are commonly known as “the best of the best of travel.” Nearly half a million Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted a record-breaking number of responses rating their travel experiences to provide a full snapshot of where and how we travel today.
