The St Regis Princeville Resort located at Hawaii’s Kaua‘i Island, blends sophistication and serene luxury in one of the most remarkable destinations in the world. Following a multi-million dollar renovation, the resort now reflects the sensibility of its island home, paying homage to the land and culture. The resort’s redesign was inspired by the Hawaiian concept of Ahupua‘a, a philosophy of living in balance with nature.
Redesigned in collaboration with hotel design firm WATG and local Hawaiian architecture firm Group 70, the St Regis Princeville Resort features 252 guest rooms, including 51 premium ocean view suites, Halele’a Spa, Prince and Makai Champion golf courses by Robert Trent Jones II, and Kaua’i Grill by chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
The hotel’s lobby features a dramatic point of entry, including a cascading chandelier comprising over 4,000 pieces of Murano glass representing the waterfall of Na Molokama Mountain, a coffered ceiling of natural woven raffia, palm wood floors, and soaring glass panels that open to the sea and the sunsets of Mt Makana.
The interior of the Kaua‘i Grill restaurant features a rich palette of coco, ruby, cognac, leather, bronze and zebra woods evoking Hawaii’s luminous colors, with a contemporary interpretation of island motifs. A spiraling, lit fabric ceiling in the shape of a nautilus shell crowns the dining room. Spilling from the center of the ceiling is a hand-crafted fiber optic and ruby glass hibiscus chandelier that echoes the surrounding mountain waterfalls and Hawaii’s indigenous flora.
Each spacious treatment room is enriched with custom millwork of native Hawaiian woods, palm wood floors, natural fiber drapery treatments, and a custom Murano glass plumeria flower chandelier.
The St Regis Princeville’s newly transformed meeting spaces boast 12,000 square feet of both indoor and outdoor space and offer a dynamic setting with the latest in computer and audio visual technology. Among the resort’s signature features is a unique infinity pool situated on the ocean overlooking beautiful Hanalei Bay. Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, naturally defined stonework and water features reflecting Hawai‘i’s tropical outdoor lifestyle, the pool deck will also feature Nalu Kai Restaurant. Two premiere 18-hole golf courses – the Prince and Makai designed by Robert Trent Jones II, is another attraction at Princeville.
New York-based hotel and leisure company Starwood Hotels & Resorts has internationally renowned brands in its kitty, including St Regis, the Luxury Collection, W, Westin, Le Méridien, Sheraton, Four Points by Sheraton, and the recently launched Aloft and Element.
