Mauna Kea Beach Hotel, Autograph Collection
As founder of The Mauna Kea in 1965, Laurance S. Rockefeller said it with style when he claimed "Every great beach deserves a great hotel". He also recognized that the beautiful beach at Kauna'oa deserved spectacular golf and exceptional dining to accompany one of the most exclusive resorts of it's day. Six decades and a $240 million renovation later, the hotel once again reigns as a landmark of elegance on the dazzling Kohala Coast.

Hotel Description
Celebrating six decades since its 1965 debut, Mauna Kea Beach Hotel stands as an enduring icon of refined island hospitality on Hawai'i Island's coveted Kohala Coast. Designed by Laurance S. Rockefeller, the resort's recent renovation thoughtfully refreshed the Main Tower and Beachfront Wing guestrooms, public spaces, restaurants, and pools, introducing a new oceanfront adults-only infinity pool, an enhanced family pool experience, and a state-of-the-art Fitness Center —each reinforcing the hotel's quiet, architectural elegance.
