Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, Hawaii

Four Seasons Resort Hualalai has been named as Hawaii's number one Resort in Travel + Leisure's "World's Best Awards.” The Resort sits in the ancient land division that was once a thriving fishing village. The hotel opened in the September of 1996 and has a total of 243 rooms with 192 guest rooms and 51 suites. Initial designed by James Northcutt Associates, now called Wilson and Associates, the design aesthetics of the property feature low-rise bungalows in mid-20th-century Hawaiian style with natural woods and neutral colour palette. The resort has been designed to maximize ocean views, and encompasses the natural lava formations. Housed in intimate two-storey bungalows, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai's 243 expansive guest rooms and suites exude a nostalgic sense of Hawaii’s golden age. An extensive collection of native Hawaiian art can be seen throughout, along with nature-inspired décor and fantastic outdoor living areas.
