Andaz Maui at Wailea

Hawaii doesn't get new hotels very often, so when it does, it is hot news in the travel industry. After years of remaining dormant on the accommodations front, Hawaii made a splash when it opened Aulani: A Disney Resort & Spa in late August of 2011. But as the buzz subsided roughly two years after its opening, people were eagerly awaiting the next big thing. The new talk of the town has been the Andaz Maui at Wailea, the destinations latest resort that aims to put a luxury spin on the destination's multigenerational market while also creating a quiet retreat for affluent couples. Professionals in the travel industry toured the grounds of the Andaz Maui, a five-star resort now slated to open by mid-September in the Wailea area of Maui. This will be the first resort at this location since the Renaissance Wailea Beach closed in 2007. The feedback was all positive and agents are anxious to get their clients booked here. Andaz, which means personal style in Hindi, is the high-end lifestyle branch of Hyatt Hotels and Resorts. Andaz Wailea joins their collection of hotels in London, California and New York. Additional Andaz hotels under development include Amsterdam, Delhi, Costa Rica, China, and Turks and Caicos. Andaz Maui's approximately 300 rooms and suites range from 456 to 2,321 square feet, including seven three-to-five bedroom villas. 70 percent of all rooms face the ocean. The resort's two Premiere Suites are one-bedroom units that can connect and form a two-bedroom suite. Each Premiere Suite comes with a soaking tub located in the center of the room, offering clients an impressive ocean view while they soak. Also, butler service will be available. There will be two restaurants on property, including the recently announced Morimoto Maui, named after executive Chef and former Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. The second restaurant is unnamed at this point. Other facilities at Andaz Maui include a 15,000 square-foot spa, gym, lobby lounge and meeting space. The spa will have 10 treatment rooms, one of which is a couple's room. The resort's five pools include four that all lead into each other. In fact, three infinity pools all end up in one relaxing lagoon. The fifth is located separately and will serve as the resort's adults-only swimming pool.
