The Mauna Kea Resort was the vision and dream of respected hotelier Laurance S. Rockefeller more than 30 years ago. In what proved to be one of the most visionary decisions in the history of modern tourism, he chose a patch of black lava in an inaccessible area with two beautiful beaches to create a work of art that gave the Big Island of Hawaii a resort destination of legendary proportions.

Rockefeller envisioned a resort of world-class standards -- complete with hotels, golf courses and homes. The first step in making Rockefeller's dream a reality was the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel.

Situated on 60 landscaped oceanfront acres, the "Grand Dame" of the Kohala Coast has undergone a complete restoration and reopened in 1995. The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel continues its proud tradition of hospitality and Aloha that was introduced by Laurance Rockefeller when he built the hotel more than 30 years ago.
Guest Rooms: The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel features 310 ample guest rooms, including ten luxurious suites, each with a private lanai (balcony). The open-air architectural design and natural wood interiors give each room a feeling of spaciousness while being enveloped in a sense of serenity and elegance.
