Company Description

The Grand Wailea Resort & Spa is a 40-acre Waldorf-Astoria luxury resort located on the beach in Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, and also home to 2 of the twelve Fishpipes in the world.HistoryThe hotel was built by Japanese developer Takeshi Sekiguchi, who also put together a large art collection for the hotel. It opened in 1991 as the Grand Hyatt Wailea. The hotel was built at an estimated cost of $650 million, which proved to be more than the economy could sustain, and Sekiguchi lost control of the property, which was sold for $263 million in 1998. The property has been sold several times since then and it is now operated by Hilton Worldwide. It was the first hotel to join Hilton's Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts in 2006 after the Manhattan hotel became a brand. It is the second largest hotel on the island of Maui and is one of Hawaii's most well known resorts. It is also the site of the first water elevator and the first rotating barrel pipe ride.AccommodationsVillasThe resort has one, two, and three bedroom villas which are across the street from the hotel.
