“Opening in 2026” can mean an operating hotel, a bookable future date, one completed renovation phase, or active construction with more work to follow. Check which state applies before committing to a room.

Before paying, confirm the exact stay dates, refundable deadline, resort fee, parking, included amenities, and any construction notice shown during checkout.

Hilton’s current pages do not show one consistent first-stay date for Hale Hōkūala Kauaʻi, Curio Collection by Hilton. Depending on the page or booking view, the company displays reservations beginning September 23 or September 30, 2026. Its official June announcement gives September 23 and describes 210 rooms, including 23 suites, near Līhuʻe Airport; use the live property page to test your dates.

Because Hilton’s official pages do not agree, recheck the first available date during checkout. Do not treat either date as a guarantee against another opening change. If this resort anchors the trip, choose terms that let you move without losing the room payment and keep a second Līhuʻe-area option in mind. Check Hawaii Guide’s Travel Alerts separately for island-wide conditions rather than treating a bookable hotel date as an all-clear.

OUTRIGGER marked the resort’s grand reopening on June 22 after redesigned rooms and public spaces. The company’s reopening announcement makes this an operating-property decision rather than a future-opening bet.

Its east-side position is the practical advantage: it can divide drives toward the north and south shores. Plan North Shore and South or West Side days separately, and recheck road conditions before each longer drive.

Mauna Kea Beach Hotel’s current hotel overview labels the property fully renovated and lists the Spa at Mauna Kea as operating. Use that live page to confirm services for your stay.

The hotel is at Kaunaʻoa Bay. Plan Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and Hilo-side days separately from on-property days, and check road and park conditions before departure.

Marriott’s current Moana Surfrider overview describes refreshed accommodations and public spaces across its three wings. Treat this as an established resort with refreshed accommodations, not a new-build opening.

Compare the exact wing and room category. Marriott lists different room sizes, building histories, and view categories across the resort’s three wings.

OUTRIGGER announced a major transformation with reimagined rooms expected to debut in the third quarter of 2026 and the full project to follow. Read the official project announcement and ask what work, hours, and amenity interruptions apply to your dates.

OUTRIGGER’s schedule separates reimagined guestrooms expected in the third quarter from completion of the full project. Ask which phases remain for your dates, and get the construction answer in writing before the refundable deadline.

Compare the final checkout total and cancellation terms, then check whether the property’s location matches the days you actually plan to drive. Compare parking and resort fees alongside the room rate, and decide whether the location and paid amenities match how the group will spend its days.

Continue with the Hawaii lodging guide, estimate the full stay in the Trip Cost Explorer, and match the hotel to plans for Oʻahu, Kauaʻi, Maui, or Hawaiʻi Island. The useful “new hotel” is the one whose opening state, location, and terms survive the whole itinerary.
